Operating elements
The refrigerator can be controlled through the
button in the upper part of the cooling room.
Regulate the Temperature in the Cooling Room
Press the button on the control panel re-
SET
peatedly until the desired temperature or the
'Fast Cool' indicator lights up.
Fast Cool
Select this function to quickly cool down the
temperature in the refrigerator. After approx.
3 hours, this function will automatically go off
and the temperature in the refrigerator will be
set to 2 °C.
VeggiBox
The VeggiBox serves as the optimal storage
for fruits and vegetables.
Regulate the Humidity in the VeggiBox
Fruits and vegetables easily decay when stored
wrongly. For that matter, a critical criterion is a
right humidity, which you regulate precisely for
the VeggiBox with the Humidity-Control:
This slide control is in the cover of the
VeggiBox. Is the slide control open, then the
humidity sinks; is it closed, then the humidity
rises. This allows for ideal storage conditions
for fruits and vegetables.
Temperature in the freezer compartment
The temperature in the freezer compartment
is set to ≤ –18°C by default.
Special Functional Features
Memory Preservation in the Case of Power
Failure
Every configuration will be preserved in the
case of a separation from the mains supply
and will come into operation again when the
mains supply is re-established.
Delayed Restart after Mains Failure
So as to protect the appliance from damages,
it cannot be turned on again immediately for
a period of 5 minutes after a short separation
from the mains supply. Wait a few minutes
until the appliance starts working again.
Interior Lighting
Do not take off the cover of the interior
lighting. The appliance is equipped with high
quality, durable LED-lighting. If the light is
inoperative, call our after-sales service.
Freezer Door
The freezer door should always stay closed
so that the food does not defrost. Thereby,
the formation of ice and frost accretion is
reduced. Therefore, make sure that the door
is only open for withdrawal of food or rather
for filling the freezer.
Freezing/Storing of Food
Freezer:
• The freezer is designed for the freezing of
food, for the long-term storage of frozen
food as well as for the appliance ion of ice
cubes.
• Fresh food should be frozen to the core as
quickly as possible, so that the nutritional
value, the vitamins, etc. do not get lost. For
this reason, put the food in one or two rows
in the freezer.
• Do not bring them into contact with already
frozen food.
• Do not exceed the freezing capacity per
day! The respective value for the maximum
freezing capacity can be taken from the
appliance specification sheet at the end of
the manual.
• The freezing time shortens if the food to be
frozen is divided into small portions.
• Store the frozen food in the appliance only
packaged. You can use uncoloured plastic
sheets/bags or aluminium foil as packaging
material. Remove the air from the packag-
ing before freezing and check for airtight-
ness. Provide every packaging with a label
with the content, date of freezing and date
of expiry on it.
• Do not freeze carbonated liquids, warm
foods or liquids in a glass container or
bottle.
• Defrost frozen appliances in the refrigera-
tor. Foods keep their taste when they are
defrosted slowly, and the emitted cooling
energy from these appliances can be used
to maintain the intended temperature in the
refrigerator.
• If the appliance is turned off for a longer
period of time, e.g., because of a mains
failure, leave the door closed. Thereby, a
