loading food to be frozen.
u
Turn the temperature control

to the right, from the
0 setting to point 3.
w
The interior light is on.
5 Control
5.1 Refrigerator compartment
The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compartment
results in zones differing in temperature. It is coldest directly
above the vegetable drawers and at the rear wall. It is warmest
at the top front of the compartment and in the door.
5.1.1 Food refrigeration
u
Store perishable food such as ready-to-serve dishes, meat
products and sausages in the coldest zone. Place butter
and preserves in the upper area and in the door (see Appli-
ance at a glance).
u
Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminium and glass
containers and cling film for wrapping.
u
Always store liquids and food which is subject to odour or
taste transfer in closed containers or cover them.
u
Foods which give off a large amount of ethylene gas and
delicate foods, such as fruit, vegetables, salad, should
always be stored separately or wrapped so as not to reduce
the storage life; e.g. do not store tomatoes together with
kiwis or cabbage.
u
Do not store food too close together to enable good air
circulation.
u
To safeguard bottles from tipping over: move the bottle
holder.
5.1.2 Setting the temperature
The temperature can be set between 1 (warmest temperature,
minimum cooling performance) and 7 (coldest temperature,
maximum cooling performance).
The middle control setting is recommended, then a middle
temperature of approx.5 °C is established in the refrigerator
compartment.
To ensure ideal temperatures for storing frozen foods, a setting
of "4" to "7" on the temperature controller is recommended.
Selecting "7" makes it possible to achieve temperatures under
0 °C in the coldest part of the fridge compartment.
An average temperature of approx. –18 °C is then established
in the freezer compartment
u
Turn the temperature control
Fig. 3 (1)
.
The temperature depends on the following factors:
- the door opening frequency
- the room temperature at the site where the appliance is
installed
- the type, temperature and quantity of frozen food
u
Adjust the temperature as needed, using the control.
5.1.3 CoolPlus function
At low room temperatures of 18 °C or lower:
u
Press the Cool-Plus switch
Fig. 3 (2)
.
w
The deep temperatures in the freezer compartment are
ensured.
Once the room temperature is again higher than18 °C :
u
Deactivate the Cool-Plus
Fig. 3 (2)
switch manually.
Note
u
At normal room temperatures, in excess of 18 °C, the Cool-
Plus switch should be turned off, as it is not required.
5.1.4 Shelves
Relocating the shelves
The shelves have stops preventing them from being uninten-
tionally pulled out.
u
Lift the shelf and draw it out
forwards.
u
Insert shelf with the raised
edge pointing upwards at
the back.
w
The food does not freeze
onto the rear wall.
u
Insert the bottle shelf at any position, but not at the very
bottom.
Dismantling shelves
u
The shelves can be disman-
tled for cleaning.
5.1.5 Using the sectioned shelf
CAUTION
Danger of laceration!
The shelf may break. The broken fragments may cause lacera-
tion.
u
Remove only empty shelves.
Fig. 6
u
The glass shelf with stop face (2) has to be at the back.
u
The glass plate (1) with pull-out stops must be at the front so
that the stops (3) face downwards.
5.1.6 Door racks
Removing the storage rack
u
Remove storage rack according to
illustration.
