The value is displayed flashing during the setting operation.

w

The actual temperature is displayed about 5 seconds after the last press of a button. The temperature slowly adjusts to the new setting.

5.7.4 SuperFrost

With this function you can rapidly freeze fresh food through to the core. The appliance works with maximum refrigerating performance. The sound of the refrigeration unit may be temporarily louder as a result.

Depending on how much fresh food is to be frozen you must switch SuperFrost on in advance - for a small amount of food to be frozen, about 6 hours, for the maximum amount about 24 hours before putting the food in.

Package the food and place it inside across as wide an area as possible. Do not bring food that is to be frozen into contact with products that are already frozen to prevent these items from starting to thaw.

You do not need to switch SuperFrost on in the following cases:

- when placing frozen food in the freezer

- when freezing up to about 2 kg of fresh food a day

Freezing with SuperFrost

u

Wait approx. 6 hrs.

u

Place packaged food in the upper drawers.

When the maximum amount of food is to be frozen.

u

Wait approx. 24 hrs.

w

SuperFrost is automatically switched off. At the earliest after 30 hours, at the latest after 65 hours, depending on the quantity placed inside the appliance.

w

The SuperFrost button

Fig. 2 (2)

goes out when the freezing process is complete.

w

The appliance returns to work in the energy-saving normal mode.

5.7.5 Drawers

Note

Insufficient ventilation results in an increase in energy consumption and reduction of the refrigerating performance.

For appliances with NoFrost: u

Leave the bottom drawer in the appliance.

u

Never block the air slits in the fan on the rear wall.

u

To store frozen food directly on the shelves: pull the drawer forward and lift it out.

5.7.6 Shelves

u

To remove shelf: lift it at the front and pull out forward.

u

To reinsert shelf: simply slide it in as far as it will go.

5.7.7 VarioSpace

In addition to the drawers, you can also take out the shelves.

This gives you space for large frozen items. Poultry, meat, large joints of game and tall bakery items can be frozen and then presented whole.

u

Each drawer can hold up to

55.12 lbs (25 kg) of frozen food; each plate can hold up to 77.16 lbs (35 kg).

5.7.8 Info system*

(1) Ready meals, ice cream

(2) Pork, fish

(3) Fruit, vegetables

5.7.9 IceMaker*

The IceMaker is in the top drawer. The drawer is labeled

“IceMaker”.

Make sure that the following conditions are fulfilled:

- The appliance is level.

- The appliance is connected to the electricity supply.

- The freezer compartment is switched on.

- The minimum freezer temperature is 14 °F (-10 °C).

* Depending on model and options 11

Maintenance

- The IceMaker is connected to the water supply.

- All air was bled from the waterline before starting the icemaker. The icemaker will only work if there is no air in the waterline.

Switching on the IceMaker*

Fig. 6 u

Pull out the drawer.

u

Press On/Off button

Fig. 6 (1)

so that the LED

Fig. 6 (2) lights up.

u

Push in the drawer.

Note

u

The IceMaker only produces ice cubes when the drawer is completely closed.

Producing ice cubes*

The production capacity depends on the freezer temperature. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes can be produced in a certain period.

The production capacity is 90- 100 ice cubes in 24 hours at a freezing temperature of 0 °F (-18 °C).

To have the maximum capacity of approx. 130 ice cubes in 24 hours, activate the SuperFrost Function. Be aware that this increases the energy consumption because the compressor will run constantly.

The ice cubes fall out of the IceMaker into the drawer.

When the ice cubes reach a certain height in the drawer, no more ice cubes can be produced. The IceMaker will not fill the drawer to the top.

If large quantities of ice cubes are required, the complete

IceMaker drawer can be swapped with the neighboring drawer. When you close the drawer, the IceMaker automatically restarts production.

When the IceMaker is switched on for the first time, it may take up to 24 hours for the first ice cubes to be produced.

Note

Particles may accumulate in the IceMaker or water line the first time the appliance is used or after an extended period out of service.

u

To achieve this, do not consume or use the ice cubes that are produced within 24 hours.

Switching off the IceMaker*

If ice cubes are not required, the IceMaker can be switched off independently of the freezer compartment.

When the IceMaker is switched off, the drawer of the

IceMaker can also be used for freezing and storing food.

u

Press the On/Off button for about 1 second until the

LED goes out.

u

Clean the IceMaker.

w

This ensures that no water or ice remains in the

IceMaker.

6 Maintenance
