Risk of fire and damage due to insufficient ventilation.
If the refrigeration appliance is not ventilated sufficiently, the compressor will run more frequently and for longer periods.
This causes increased energy consumption and an increased compressor operating temperature, which can result in damage to the compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the refrigeration appliance.
Do not block the ventilation gaps.
The ventilation gaps must never be obstructed.
Limiting the opening angle of the appliance door
The door hinges are set ex works to enable the appliance door to be opened wide.
If, for example, the appliance door hits an adjacent wall when it is opened, you should limit the opening angle of the appliance door to 90°.
If necessary, cut the toe-kick cover to the required length and height (cut along the lower edge of the toe-kick facing where it touches the floor).
Secure the toe-kick cover to the bottom of the toe-kick ventilation grille.
Open the appliance door.
Insert the pin into the lower hinge from above.

If in doubt, have a suitably qualified and experienced electrician check that the installation complies with relevant regulations.
Do not install a fuse into neutral current or grounding electrical circuit.
Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prong) adapters.
Do not use a frayed or damaged power cord.
Risk of electric shock!
For protection against electric shock, this appliance is equipped with a pole-free plug which is protected against reverse polarity. The electrical outlet must be properly grounded.
Do not remove the round grounding connector pin from the plug.
Use only a grounded plug adapter.
Installation
Wait for 1 hour after installation before plugging the appliance into the power supply. This allows coolant and refrigerator oil to settle in accordance with regulations.
Ensure that the voltage of the power supply corresponds with the connection voltage of the appliance. A power supply of 110–120 V, 60 Hz and 10–
16 Amp, which is protected by a power switch or a fuse, is required to operate the appliance.
The manufacturer recommends operating the appliance on a dedicated circuit to avoid overloading the electrical circuit.
All relevant legal electrical, fire, and building regulations must be observed when installing the electrical outlet and/ or the appliance.
In certain countries, appliances are required to be connected to the electrical supply via a wall-mounted
ON/OFF switch.
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock, or other injuries, the appliance must be installed and connected by a suitably qualified electrician in accordance with all relevant local and national regulations and standards, including fire prevention.
The socket must not be concealed behind the appliance and must be easily accessible so that the appliance can be quickly disconnected from the electrical supply in case of an emergency.
47
*INSTALLATION*
Installation
If the outlet is no longer accessible after installation, an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. Suitable means of disconnection include switches with an all-pole disconnect device with a contact opening of at least 1/8" (3 mm). These can be circuit breakers, fuses, and relays.
The plug and power cord must not come into contact with the back of the appliance as vibrations can cause damage to these components. This could result in a short circuit.
Do not plug other appliances into electrical outlet behind this appliance.
Do not connect the appliance to a stand-alone inverter such as those used with an autonomous energy source e.g., solar power .
When the appliance is turned on, power surges could result in a safety switchoff. This can damage the electronics.
The appliance must not be used with so-called energy saving devices either. These reduce the amount of energy supplied to the appliance, causing it to overheat.
If the power cord needs to be replaced, this must be performed by a qualified technician.
Connecting the appliance
Insert the plug into the back of the appliance.
Make sure that the plug has clicked into position correctly.
Insert the plug into the electrical outlet and switch on.
The appliance is now connected to the electricity supply.

The correct temperature
It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Bacteria will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly.
Temperature influences the growth rate of these bacteria. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.
The temperature in the appliance will rise:
- the more often the appliance door is opened and the longer it is kept open
- the more food that is stored in it
- the warmer the food is that is being put into it
- the higher the ambient temperature surrounding the refrigeration appliance is. The appliance is designed for use within specific ambient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed
... in the refrigerator section and in the MasterFresh zone
We recommend a temperature of 39°F
(4°C) in the refrigerator section.
We recommend a temperature of 32°F
(0°C) in the dry compartment of the
MasterFresh zone.
Automatic cold air circulation
(DynaCool)

Always observe USDA food safety guidelines.
Risk of fire from electrical appliances.
Operating electrical devices in the appliance can cause sparks to form.
Do not operate any electrical devices inside the appliance.
Risk of explosion due to flammable mixes of gases.
Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite.
Do not store any explosive materials or products containing flammable propellants (e.g., spray cans) in the appliance. The spray cans in question can be identified by the contents printed on the can or by a flame symbol. Electrical components can cause escaping gases to ignite.
Risk of damage due to greasy or oily foods.
If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or the door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.
Make sure that no fat or oil leaks onto the plastic parts of the appliance.
Storing food in the refrigerator section
Different storage zones
Due to natural air circulation, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator section.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the refrigeration section.
Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance.
Tip: To allow air to circulate efficiently, do not pack food too closely together in the refrigerator.
If there is insufficient air circulation, the cooling performance will decrease and energy consumption will increase.
Do not cover the fan in the rear wall of the appliance.
Tip: Do not store food in such a way that it touches the rear wall of the refrigerator section as it may freeze to the rear wall.
This appliance has DynamicCooling, which helps to keep an even temperature when the fan is running.
When DynamicCooling is turned on, the difference between the various zones is less pronounced.
85
Storing food in the refrigerator section
Warmest area
The warmest area in the refrigerator section is in the top section of the door.
Use this for storing butter so that it remains spreadable and cheese so that it retains its flavor.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator section is directly above the fruit and vegetable drawer and at the back of the appliance. The temperature in the dry compartment of the MastertFresh zone is even colder.
Use this area in the refrigerator section and in the dry compartment of the
MasterFresh zone for all delicate and highly perishable food, e.g.:
- fish, meat, poultry
- cold cuts, ready-made meals
- dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream
- fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza dough, or pie dough
- raw milk cheese and other raw milk products
- pre-packed vegetables and other fresh food with a best-before date that requires storage at a temperature of at least 40°F (4°C)
Food which is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator section
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 41°F (5°C) because it is sensitive to cold.
Depending on the type of food, the appearance, consistency, flavor, and/or vitamin content may be altered if stored at too cold a temperature.
Foods which are sensitive to cold include:
- Pineapples, avocados, bananas, pomegranates, mangoes, melons, papayas, passion fruit, citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges, mandarins, grapefruits
- Fruit (which is not yet ripe)
- Eggplants, cucumbers, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini
- Hard cheeses (e.g., Parmesan)
86
Storing food in the refrigerator section
Notes on buying food
The freshness of food when first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it stays fresh, and how long it can be kept in the appliance.
Take into account the use-by date and the correct storage temperature.
Time out of the refrigerator, e.g., transporting food in a warm car, should be kept to a minimum.
Tip: Take a cool bag when shopping, and load food in the appliance as soon as possible.
Storing food correctly
Ensure that food stored in the refrigerator section is in packaging or covered properly (some exceptions apply in theMasterFresh zone). This will prevent food smells from affecting other food, food from drying out, and also any cross-contamination of bacteria.
This is particularly important when storing meat products. Make sure that foods such as raw meat and fish in particular do not come into contact with other food.
By ensuring that the temperature settings are correct and by taking appropriate hygiene measures, you can prolong the storage life of your food considerably.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables can be stored loose in the fruit and vegetable drawer.
87
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone
MastertFresh zone
The MastertFresh zone provides ideal storage conditions for fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, and dairy products. Food stays fresh considerably longer while retaining both flavor and vitamins.
The MasterFresh zone comprises a humidity-controlled and a dry compartment.
- Depending on the moisture-regulator setting, the humidity-controlled compartment is particularly suitable for storing fruit and vegetables .
- The dry compartment is suitable for storing perishable foods such as fish, meat, and dairy products.
Any type of food can in fact be stored in this compartment, as long as it is packaged.

Humidity-controlled compartment with moisture regulator
The humidity level in the humiditycontrolled compartment can be regulated to approximately suit the food being stored. Food retains its own moisture if stored at a higher humidity and so does not dry out as quickly. This allows it to stay crisp and fresh for longer.
The moisture released by food in storage is kept within the humiditycontrolled compartment drawer. The closer the air humidity in the humiditycontrolled compartment is to the humidity content of the food, the crisper and fresher the food remains over a longer period, as the water content of the food is largely retained.
The moisture level greatly depends on the type and quantity of food being stored, if stored unwrapped.
The temperature in the humiditycontrolled compartment is approximately equivalent to the temperature in the conventional refrigerator section.
Remember that the fresher the food when it is placed in the appliance, the longer it will stay fresh.
88
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone
The moisture regulator is used to regulate the amount of moisture in the humidity-controlled compartment with settings to .
Position of the moisture regulator
= slightly increased humidity
Select this setting if you store very large quantities of fruits and vegetables in the humidity-controlled compartment. The moisture regulator partially closes the vents in the compartment so that some of the moisture present is retained.
Tip: If the humidity level is too high and a lot of moisture has collected in the compartment, select the
setting.
If the quantity of food being stored in this compartment is small, the moisture level may be too low. If you are only storing a small amount of food, wrap it in airtight packaging.
Increased moisture in the humiditycontrolled compartment can, in some circumstances, cause a buildup of condensate.
Wipe off any condensate with a cloth.
Regulating the humidity level in the humidity-controlled compartment
Slide the moisture regulator to the left
or right
depending on the setting required.
Position of the moisture regulator
= increased humidity
Select this setting if you store small to large quantities of fruits and vegetables in the humidity-controlled compartment. The moisture regulator closes the vents in the compartment completely so that all of the moisture present is retained.
89
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone
Dry compartment with adjustable temperature
The temperature in the dry compartment is maintained at 30 to
37°F (-1 to 3°C). While lower than the temperature in a standard refrigerator section, this is the optimum temperature range for storing fresh food which is not sensitive to cold.
The deterioration process is decelerated at this temperature range so food can be stored without loss of freshness for considerably longer than in a standard refrigerator and you do not need to shop as often.
However, if you would like it to be warmer or colder, e.g., when storing fish, you can adjust the temperature slightly (see “Selecting additional settings – Adjusting the temperature in the MasterFresh zone (dry compartment) ”).
The humidity level is similar to that in the conventional refrigerator section.
Tip: This compartment is ideal for all home-cooked meals as any microorganisms that may still be present cannot multiply.
The dry compartment is ideal for storing perishable foods such as:
- dairy products such as yogurt, cheese, cream, etc.
- deli salads
- meat, poultry, and sausage
- fresh fish and shellfish
- Any type of food can in fact be stored in this compartment, as long as it is packaged.
Please note that foods rich in protein deteriorate faster than others.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates faster than fish, and fish deteriorates faster than meat.
For hygiene reasons, always keep these foods covered or wrapped in this compartment.
Take food out of the dry compartment approximately 30 to 60 minutes before using it. The aroma and taste do not fully develop until the food has reached room temperature.
At high room temperatures, delicate food should preferably be kept in the refrigerator section for a period of time.
90
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone
The following tips may help if you find that food you have stored does not keep well (for example, the food wilts or becomes withered after only a short storage time):
Only place fresh food in the appliance as the initial condition of the food is crucial to maintaining freshness.
Clean the MasterFresh zone before storing food in it.
Very wet food should be dried off before storing it in the humidity-controlled compartment.
Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the dry compartment (see
“Storing food in the refrigerator section – Food which is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator section”).
Allocate the appropriate settings to food you wish to store (e.g., humid or dry storage).
Store food loose in the humidity-controlled compartment.
A high humidity level in the humidity-controlled compartment is achieved by the moisture present in the food being stored.
If the humidity level is not high enough (e.g., too little food is being stored), it can be increased by placing a damp sponge in the drawer.
If you think that the temperature in the dry compartment is too high or too low, adjust the temperature in the compartment (see “The correct temperature –
Temperature range”). If ice crystals start to form at the bottom of the dry compartment, increase the temperature as otherwise the cold temperature will damage the food.
If too much water collects at the bottom of the humidity-controlled compartment, dry it with a cloth. If necessary, dry food before placing it in the appliance or place a wire rack at the bottom of the humidity-controlled compartment to allow water to drain off.
