manufacturer only.
▯
Read and follow the operating and
installation instructions. They contain
important information on how to install, use
and maintain the appliance.
▯
The manufacturer is not liable if you
disregard the instructions and warnings in
the operating and installation instructions.
▯
Retain all documents for subsequent use or
for the next owner.
The manufacturer guarantees that these

If this is not possible, attach an insulating plate between the
appliance and heat source.
Select an installation location with a room temperature of
approx. 20 °C.
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings.
Ventilate the room daily.
If the warm air can escape, the appliance needs to cool less
frequently and therefore consumes less power.
Using the appliance

Refrigerator compartment
Refrigerator compartment
T he refrigerator compartment is suitable for storing
meat, sausages, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals
and pastries.
Refrigeratocmpartmen
Vegetable container
The vegetable container is the best storage location for
fresh fruit and vegetables.High air humidity keeps leafy
vegetables fresh for longer. Fruit and vegetables should
be stored at a slightly lower air humidity.
Notes
The temperature can be set from +2 °C ... +8 °C.
–
The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store
highly perishable foods in the short to medium term. The
lower the selected temperature, the slower the
enzymatic and chemical processes and deterioration by
microorganisms. A temperature of +4 °C or lower
ensures optimum freshness and safety of the stored
foods.
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana,
papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to
cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini,
peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored
outside the appliance at temperatures of approx.
+8 °C ... +12 °C for optimum preservation of
quality and flavour.
–
Condensation may form in the vegetable container
depending on the food and quantity stored.
Remove condensation with a dry cloth.
Note when storing food
Note: Avoid contact between food and the rear panel.
Otherwise, the air circulation will be impaired and food
or packaging may freeze to the rear panel.
Vegetable container with humidity
control
▯
The vegetable container is the best storage location for
fresh fruit and vegetables.You can adjust the humidity in
the vegetable container via the humidity controller and a
special seal. This allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be
stored up to twice as long as with conventional storage.
Store fresh, undamaged food.
The quality and freshness will then be retained for
longer.
▯
▯
In the case of ready products and bottled goods do
not exceed the minimum sell-by date or use-by-date
indicated by the manufacturer.
To retain aroma, colour and freshness, pack
or cover food well before placing it in the
appliance.
This avoids transference of flavours and
discolouration of the plastic parts.
▯
Leave warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing them in the refrigerator compartment.
The humidity in the vegetable container can be set
according to the type and amount of products to be
stored:
▯
Mainly fruit as well as for a large load – set lower
humidity with controller position ^
▯
Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed or small
load – set higher humidity with controller position
^^^
Notes
–
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana,
papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to
cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, courgettes,
peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored
outside the appliance at temperatures of approx.
+8 °C ... +12 °C for optimum preservation of
quality and flavour.
–
Condensation may form in the vegetable container
depending on the food and quantity stored.
Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust
the humidity in the vegetable container with the
humidity controller.
Note the chill zones
in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment
creates different chill zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the interior at the rear wall and in
the chill compartment.
Note: Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausages and
meat) in the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Note: Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest
zone. Cheese can continue to release its flavour and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
