WARNING‒Risk of electric shock!

Incorrect installation is dangerous.

▶Connect and operate the appliance only in accordance with the

specifications on the rating plate.

▶Connect the appliance to a power supply with alternating cur-

rent only via a properly installed socket with earthing.

▶The protective conductor system of the domestic electrical in-

stallation must be properly installed.

▶Never equip the appliance with an external switching device,

damage

Preventing material damage

ATTENTION!

If not rolling freely, the appliance's

castors may damage the floor when

the appliance is moved.

▶Transport the appliance using a

sack truck.

▶Use floor protection when moving

the appliance, and do not move it

in a zigzag fashion.

Using the appliance, base, runners or

doors as a seat or climbing surface

may damage the appliance.

▶Do not stand or lean on the appli-

ance, base, runners or doors.

pend on the model.

6.1 Shelf

To vary the shelf as required, you

can remove the shelf and re-insert it

elsewhere.

→"Removing the shelf", Page25

6.2 Variable shelf

Use the variable shelf to store tall

items, e.g. cans or bottles, on the

shelf below.

Using the variable shelf

1. Hold the left-hand section of the

variable shelf and pull out the right-

hand section of the variable shelf

until the clip is released.

→Fig. 3

2. Lift the front of the right-hand sec-

tion of the variable shelf and re-

move it ⁠.

→Fig. 4

3. Slide the right-hand section of the

variable shelf as far as it will go

below the left-hand section of the

variable shelf.

→Fig. 5

6.3 Storage container

The temperatures in the storage con-

tainer are lower than in the refriger-

ator compartment. Temperatures be-

low 0°C may occur occasionally.

In order to reach temperatures close

to 0 °C in the storage container, set

the refrigerator compartment temper-

ature to 2 °C. →Page19

en Features

18

Use the lower temperatures in the

storage container to store highly per-

ishable food, e.g. fish, meat and

sausages.

6.4 Fruit and vegetable con-

tainer with humidity con-

trol

Store fresh fruit and vegetables loose

in the fruit and vegetable container.

Cover any chopped fruit and veget-

ables, or store in air-tight packaging.

You can adjust the humidity in the

fruit and vegetable container using

the humidity controller and a special

seal. This allows fresh fruit and veget-

ables to be stored for up to twice as

long as with conventional storage.

→Fig. 6

The air humidity in the fruit and

vegetable container can be set

according to the type and amount of

food to be stored by pressing the

humidity controller:

¡Low humidity required when

primarily storing fruit or mixed

items, or if the appliance is very

full.

¡High humidity required when

primarily storing vegetables or

when the appliance is not very full.

Condensation may form in the fruit

and vegetable container depending

on the food and quantity stored.

Remove the condensation with a dry

cloth and adjust the air humidity to a

lower setting using the humidity con-

troller.

To ensure that the quality and aroma

are retained, store fruit and veget-

ables that are sensitive to cold out-

side of the appliance at temperatures

of approx. 8°C to 12°C, e.g. pine-

apple, bananas, citrus fruits, cucum-

bers, courgettes, peppers, tomatoes

and potatoes.

6.5 Container divider

WARNING

Risk of suffocation!

Children may climb into the appli-

ance and suffocate.

▶Never remove the container divider

from the frozen food container.

ATTENTION!

The container divider for the frozen

food container will be damaged if re-

moved.

▶Never remove the container divider

from the frozen food container.

The container divider splits the frozen

food container so that you can organ-

ise food better.

6.6 Door rack

To adjust the door rack as required,

you can remove the door rack and

re-insert elsewhere.

→"Removing door rack", Page25

6.7 Accessories

Use original accessories. These have

been made especially for your appli-

ance.

The accessories for your appliance

depend on the model.

Egg tray

Store eggs safely on the egg tray.

Bottle holder

Ice cube tray

Use the ice cube tray to make ice

cubes.

Making ice cubes

Use only drinking water tomake ice

cubes.

1. Fill the ice cube tray with drinking

water up to ¾ and place in the

freezer compartment.

If the ice cube tray is stuck to the

freezer compartment, loosen it with

a blunt implement such as the

handle of a wooden spoon.

2. To loosen the ice cubes, twist the

ice cube tray slightly or hold it

briefly under flowing water.

7.2 Operating tips

¡Once you have switched on the

appliance, the set temperature is

only reached after several hours.

Do not put any food in the appli-

ance until the set temperature has

been reached.

¡The front panels of the housing are

temporarily heated slightly. This

prevents condensation in the area

of the door seal.

¡When you close the door, a va-

cuum may be created. The door is

then difficult to open again. Wait a

moment until the vacuum is offset.

¡The temperature in the appliance

varies due to the following condi-

tions:

– How often the appliance is

opened

– Load capacity

– Temperature of newly stored

food

– Ambient temperature

– Direct sunlight
