The interior lighting will go out andcooling will be turned off.

Turning off for longer periodsof time

If, during a long absence, the ap-pliance is switched off but notcleaned and the door(s) left shut,there is a danger of bacteria buildingup inside the appliance.It is essential to clean the appliance.

If the appliance is not going to be usedfor a longer period of time, e.g. while onvacation:

switch the appliance off,

unplug the power cord or trip the cir-cuit breaker,

clean the appliance and

leave the door(s) ajar to air the appli-ance and avoid odors building up in-side the appliance.

The correct temperature

22

It is very important to set the correcttemperature for storing food in the ap-pliance. Bacteria will cause food whichis not stored at the correct temperatureto deteriorate rapidly.

The temperature in the appliance willrise:

– if you open the door frequently orkeep it open too long,

– the more food that is stored in it

– if you put food in it that is too warm,

– the higher the ambient temperaturesurrounding the appliance. The appli-ance is designed for use within spe-cific ambient temperatures (climaterange). Do not use in ambient tem-peratures for which it is not designed.

. . . in the refrigerator sectionand in the PerfectFresh zoneWe recommend a temperature of 39°F(4°C) in the refrigerator section.

The temperature in the PerfectFreshzone is controlled automatically, and ismaintained at 32°F to 37°F (0°C to3°C).

Automatic cold air circulation (Dyna-Cool)

The fan automatically turns on when thecooling system for the refrigerator sec-tion turns on. It distributes the tempera-ture in the refrigerator section to all ar-eas evenly so that all the food inside willbe chilled to about the same degree.


23

Temperature display

In normal operation, the temperaturedisplay shows the current averagerefrigerator temperature.

Depending on the ambient temperatureand the temperature setting, it can takethe appliance a few hours to reach thetemperature required and for this tem-perature to then be shown as a con-stant temperature in the display.

Setting the temperature Use the two sensor buttons below

the display to set the temperature.

When you touch the sensor button

– The temperature decreases.

– The temperature increases.

The temperature value flashes while thetemperature is being set.

The following changes will be seen onthe display when the sensor buttons aretouched:

– With the first touch: The last temper-ature set flashes.

– Each subsequent touch: The temper-ature changes in 1° increments.

Storing food in the refrigerator section

35

Do not load more than a maximum of35 lb (16 kg) of food in the appliancedoor.

WARNING! Fire hazard!Do not operate any electrical equip-ment inside the appliance. This cancause sparking.

DANGER of explosion!Do not store any explosive materialsor products containing flammablepropellants (e.g., spray cans) in themachine.

If storing food which contains fator oil in the machine or the machinedoor, stress cracks may be caused inthe plastic, resulting in it breaking.Make sure that no oil or fat leaksonto the plastic parts of the machine.

Various cooling zonesDue to natural air circulation there aredifferent temperature zones in the re-frigerator section.

Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest sec-tion of the appliance. Make use of thedifferent temperature zones when plac-ing food in the appliance.

To allow air to circulate efficiently, donot pack food too closely together inthe refrigerator.

If there is insufficient air circulationthe cooling performance will de-crease and energy consumption willincrease.Do not cover the fan in the rear wallof the refrigerator.

Food must not touch the back of therefrigerator section as it may freeze tothe back wall.

This appliance has DynamicCooling,which helps to keep an even tempera-ture when the fan is running. WhenDynamicCooling is turned on, the dif-ference between the various zones isless pronounced.

Warmest area

The warmest area in the refrigeratorsection is in the top section of the door.Use this for storing butter so that it re-mains spreadable and cheese so that itretains its flavor.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the refrigerator sec-tion is directly above the dividing plateof the PerfectFresh zone and againstthe rear wall. However, inside the Per-fectFresh zone is even colder.

Use these areas in the refrigerator sec-tion and in the PerfectFresh zone for alldelicate and highly perishable food,e.g.:

– fish, meat, poultry,

– cold cuts

– dishes or baked goods containingeggs or cream,

Storing food in the refrigerator section

36

– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza orpie dough,

Food which is not suitable forstorage in the refrigerator sec-tionNot all food is suitable for refrigerationat temperatures below 41°F (5°C) be-cause it is sensitive to cold. Dependingon the type of food, the appearance,consistency, flavor and/or vitamin con-tent may be altered if stored at too colda temperature.

Food that is sensitive to cold includes:

– pineapple, avocados, bananas,pomegranates, mangos, melons, pa-paya, passion fruit, citrus fruit (suchas lemons, oranges, mandarins,grapefruit),

– fruit that is not yet ripe,

– eggplant, cucumbers, potatoes, pep-pers, tomatoes, zucchini,

– hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan.

What to be aware of whenshopping for foodThe freshness of food when first placedin the appliance is the most importantfactor in determining how long it staysfresh, and how long it can be kept in theappliance.Always observe the use-by date andthe recommended storage temperature.Time out of the refrigerator should bekept to a minimum, for example, whentransporting food in a hot car.

Tip: Take a cool bag with you whenshopping and on return place food intothe appliance immediately.

Storing food correctlyFood should generally be stored cov-ered or packaged in the refrigeratorsection (there are some exceptions tothis rule in the PerfectFresh zone - seebelow). This will prevent food smellsfrom affecting other foods, food fromdrying out, and also any cross-contami-nation of bacteria. This is especially im-portant for storing animal products. The shelf life of food can be significantlyincreased by setting the correct tem-perature and maintaining good stan-dards of hygiene.

Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone

37

The PerfectFresh zone provides idealstorage conditions for fruit, vegetables,fish, meat, and dairy products. Foodstays fresh considerably longer whileretaining both flavor and vitamins.

The temperature in the PerfectFreshzone is controlled automatically, and ismaintained at 32°F to 37°F (0°C to 3°C).While lower than the temperature in astandard refrigerator, this is the opti-mum temperature range for storingfresh food which is not sensitive tocold. The deterioration process is de-celerated at this temperature range sofood can be stored without loss offreshness for considerably longer thanin a standard refrigerator.

The humidity level in the PerfectFreshzone can also be regulated to suit thefood being stored. Food retains its ownmoisture if stored at a higher humidityand so does not dry out as quickly. Thisallows it to stay crisp and fresh forlonger.

Remember that the fresher the foodwhen it is placed in the appliance, thelonger it will stay fresh.

Take food out of the PerfectFresh zoneapproximately 30 to 60 minutes beforeusing it. The aroma and taste do notfully develop until the food hasreached room temperature.

The PerfectFresh zone is di-vided into two compartments:– The upper dry compartment has a

temperature of between 32°F and37°F (0°C and 3°C). The humiditylevel in this compartment is not in-creased .You should use this compartment tostore fish, meat, dairy products, andany other type of food, as long as it ispackaged.

– The lower humidity-controlled com-partment (or compartments, de-pending on model) has a temperatureof 32°F to 37°F (0°C to 3°C). The hu-midity can be kept at a reduced orincreased level by positioning theslide control accordingly.If the humidity level is increased, usethis compartment to store fruit andvegetables.


38

Dry compartment The dry compartment is suitable forstoring perishable foods such as:

– fresh fish and shellfish;

– meat and poultry;

– salads;

– dairy products such as yogurt,cheese, cream, etc.;

– any type of food can in fact be storedin this compartment, as long as it ispackaged.

The low temperature in the dry com-partment is its most distinctive feature.The humidity level is similar to that in aconventional refrigerator.

Please note that foods rich in proteindeteriorate faster than others.Shellfish, for example, deteriorate fasterthan fish, and fish deteriorates fasterthan meat.

For hygiene reasons, you should alwayskeep these foods covered or wrapped.

Humidity-controlled compart-ment , The humidity-controlled compartmenthas a slide control which is used to reg-ulate the humidity in this compartment.

Slide the control to the or humiditysetting.


39

The following tips may help if youfind that food you have stored doesnot keep well (for example, the foodwilts or becomes withered after onlya short storage time):

Only place fresh food in the applianceas the initial condition of the food iscrucial to maintaining freshness.

Clean the compartments in the Per-fectFresh zone before storing food inthem.

Very wet food should be dried off be-fore storing it.

Do not store any food in the Perfect-Fresh zone which is sensitive to cold(see “Food which is not suitable forstorage in the refrigerator section”).

For the type of food being stored, se-lect the correct PerfectFresh com-partment and the appropriate posi-tion of the slide control for the humid-ity-controlled compartment (reducedor increased humidity).

An increased humidity level in thehumidity-controlled compartment isachieved by the moisture present inthe food being stored; i.e., the morefood stored in the compartment, thehigher the humidity.If too much moisture has gathered onthe base of the compartment and thisis affecting the food, select the setting. Otherwise, dry the compartment –particularly the base and underneaththe lid – with a cloth, and place a rackor similar item in the compartment sothat excess moisture can drain away.If the humidity level becomes too low,wrap the food in airtight packaging.

If you think that the temperature inthe PerfectFresh zone is not correct,try regulating it first by adjusting thetemperature in the refrigerator sectionslightly (1–2°). To prevent frost dam-age to food, a higher temperaturemust be set if ice crystals begin toform on the bases of the PerfectFreshcompartments.
