Ambient temperature

and ventilation

Ambient temperature

The appliance is designed for a specific

climate class. Depending on the climate

class, the appliance can be operated at

the following temperatures.

The climate class can be found on

the rating plate. Fig. -

Note

The appliance is fully functional within

the room temperature limits

of the indicated climatic class. If

an appliance of climatic class SN

Operating tips

■After the appliance has been switched

on, it may take several hours until the

set temperature has been reached.

Do not put any food in the appliance

beforehand.

■The front sides of the housing are

partly heated slightly. This prevents

condensation in the area of the door

seal.

compartment temperature is set.

The value last selected is saved. The set

temperature is indicated on the

temperature display for the refrigerator

compartment 4.

Cool-fresh compartment

The temperature in the “cool-fresh”

compartment has been set to almost

0 °C at the factory and should not be

changed if at all possible.

If frost forms on the refrigerated food,

the temperature can be increased. (See

chapter “Eliminating minor faults

yourself”.)

Super cooling

Super cooling sets the refrigerator

temperature to the coldest temperature

setting for approx. 6 hours. Then

the appliance automatically switches

to the temperature set prior to super

cooling mode.

Switch on super cooling mode, e.g.

■before placing large quantities of food

in the refrigerator compartment.

■for the fast cooling of drinks.

Usable capacity

Information on the usable capacity can

be found inside your appliance on

the rating plate. Fig. -

Refrigerator

compartment

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal

storage location for ready meals, cakes

and pastries, preserved food, condensed

milk and hard cheese.

Storing food

■Store fresh, undamaged food. The

quality and freshness will then

be retained for longer.

■In the case of ready-made products

and bottled goods, observe the best-

before date or use-by date specified

by the manufacturer.

■To retain aroma, colour

and freshness, pack or cover food

well before placing in the appliance.

This will prevent the transfer

of flavours and the discolouration

of plastic parts in the refrigerator

compartment.

■Allow warm food and drinks to cool

down before placing in the appliance.

Note

Avoid contact between food and rear

panel. Otherwise the air circulation will

be impaired.

Food or packaging could freeze to

the rear panel.

Note the chill zones

in the refrigerator

compartment

The air circulation in the refrigerator

compartment creates different chill

zones:

■The coldest zones are on the rear

panel and in the delicatessen

containers. Fig. #

■Warmest zone is at the very top

of the door.

Note

Store e.g. hard cheese and butter

in the warmest zone. Cheese can then

continue to release its flavour and

the butter will still be easy to spread.

The “cool-fresh”

compartment

The temperature in the fridge is about

0 °C. The low temperature and the

optimum moisture provide ideal storage

conditions for fresh food.

Food can be kept fresh up to three times

longer in the “cool-fresh” compartment

than in the normal cooling zone – for

even longer freshness, nutrient retention

and flavour.

“Cool-fresh” container

Fig. !/17

The storage climate in the “cool-fresh”

container offers ideal conditions for the

storage of fish, meat, sausage, cheese

and milk.
