REFRIGERATOR
Arranging food in the refrigerator
Because of the natural circulation of air in the re-
frigerator compartment, the temperature in different
parts of the refrigerator will differ, each area being
suitable for different types of food. The refrigerator
is coldest just above the vegetable bins and against
the rear wall; it is warmest at the front at the top and
in the door (suitable for spreadable butter, cheese
etc.). See figure B for food storage suggestions.

- Food which gives off or absorbs odours and fla-
vours, and liquids should always be stored cov-
ered or in closed containers.
- Always store food which gives off or is sensitive
to ethylene gases such as fruit, vegetables and
salads separately or wrapped in order not to af-
fect their storage life; e.g. do not store tomatoes
together with kiwis or cabbage.

BIOFRESH COMPARTMENT
W The humidity in the compartment depends on the
The BioFresh compartment enables you to keep
moisture content of the food in it, and the frequen-
cy with which the compartment is opened.
W When buying food, check that it is fresh - the
fresher the product and the higher its quality, the
longer it will keep.
a range of fresh food fresh for up to three times as
long as you would in a standard refrigerator, thus
making your stocks last longer. Taste, freshness
and nutritional value (vitamin B and C group con-
tent) remain largely intact. Spoilage and weight loss
in vegetables and fruit are reduced, leaving food
more fresh and natural.
W Unwrapped animal and vegetable foods should
be stored separately in the drawers. If there is not
enough space for them to be stored separately,
make sure that they are wrapped. Do not allow
different types of meat to come into contact with
one another but keep them packaged separately
so as to avoid premature bacterial spoilage.
W Please note that protein-rich food spoils more
quickly, i.e. crustaceans and shellfish spoil faster
than fish, and fish faster than meat.
W Remove food from the drawers some time before
consumption. Enjoyment will be enhanced in this
way as the aroma and flavour develop best at
room temperature.
The automatically controlled storage temperature,
which is kept between 32°F (0°C) and 37°F (3°C),
and the resultant humidity provide the ideal storage
conditions for different types of food.
The top drawer figure B 7,
is suitable for storing dry or wrapped food (e.g. dairy
products, meat, fish, cold meats). The storage cli-
mate in this drawer is relatively dry.
Drawers with humidity control,
Figure B 8: When set to "humid" these drawers can
be used for storing unwrapped salad, vegetables
and fruit. When the drawer is full, the climate will be
"dew-fresh", with approximately 90% humidity.
You can set the humidity in this drawer to dry or
moist as required.
W The following products should not be stored in
the BioFresh compartment: cold-sensitive veg-
etables such as cucumber, peppers, aubergines,
avocados, semi-ripe tomatoes, beans, zucchini,
and all cold-sensitive tropical fruits.
Humidity selection:
W "dry" setting: small humidity sym-
bol - slide control to left. Insert food
that is suitable for being stored in a dry climate.
W "humid" setting: high relative humidity of max.
90%, large humidity symbol - slide control to

food with a high moisture content such as fresh
lettuce.

WARNING
!
W To clean the BioFresh drawers, pull the empty
drawers right out, grip at back and lift out (fig. L).
- To re-insert: place the empty drawers on the ex-
tended rails - the rails must align with the front of
the drawer - and slide in (figure M).
Always switch off the appliance, dis-
connect the power cord or turn off the
circuit breaker before cleaning.
Do not use steam cleaning equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions
may result in death or serious injury.
W Clean the outer walls, inside and equipment by
hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent.
W We recommend using a soft cloth and an all-pur-
pose cleaner with a neutral pH value. Only use
food compatible cleaning and care agents on the
inside of the appliance.
W Use a commercially available stainless-steel
cleaning agent for stainless-steel appliances*.
- In order to achieve best possible protection, apply
a stainless-steel care agent uniformly in grinding
direction after cleaning. Points which are darker
at the start and a more intensive coloration of the
stainless-steel surface are normal.
- Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, do not
use concentrated cleaning agents and never use
cleaning agents containing sand, chloride or acid
or chemical solvents, as these would damage the
surfaces and could cause corrosion.
W Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the
ventilation grilles or any electrical components, and
keep it out of the defrost drain as far as possible.
Wipe the appliance dry.
- Do not damage or remove the type plate on the
inside of the appliance. It is very important for
servicing purposes.

Vacation Tips
Short vacations:
It is not necessary to turn OFF the refrigerator if
you will be away for less than four weeks.
• Use all perishables.
Long vacations:
If you will be away for a month or more:
• Remove all food from the refrigerator.
• Turn OFF the refrigerator.
• Clean the appliance. Refer to Cleaning.
• Leave the door open to prevent unpleasant
odors. This will also keep mold from building up.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long life span and reliable operation.
If a malfunction nonetheless occurs during operation, check whether it is due to an operating error. Please
note that even during the warranty period the resultant servicing costs in this case will have to be borne by
the owner.
You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking the possible causes yourself:
Malfunction
Possible cause and remedy
__________________________________________________
Appliance does not work, display is off
- Is the appliance switched on properly?
- Is the power cord properly inserted in the outlet?
- Is the circuit breaker or fuse in operating condition?
The interior light does not come on
- Is the appliance switched on?
- Has the door been open for more than 15 minutes?
- The bulb/lighting unit* is defective. Change the bulb/lighting unit* as described in "Interior light".
Loud running noise
- Is the appliance standing firmly on the floor, or does the compressor cause nearby items of furniture or
objects to vibrate? If necessary, move the appliance slightly, align by adjusting the adjustable feet, or
move bottles and containers apart.
- Burbling noises are normal. These are caused by the refrigerant flowing round the refrigerant circuit.
A short clicking sound: This will be heard whenever the refrigeration unit (the motor) switches on or off
automatically.
Motor noise: This will be slightly louder for a brief period when the refrigeration unit switches on.
The audible warning signal sounds
- Is the appliance closed properly? Check the appliance as described in "Audible warning signal".
The temperature is not cold enough
- Is the temperature setting correct? If necessary, set a lower temperature and check the display after
24 hours.
- Does the door close properly?
- Is the appliance sufficiently well ventilated?
Clear ventilation grilles if necessary.
- Is the ambient temperature too hot? (See "Safety regulations")
- Has the appliance been opened too often or left open too long?
- If applicable, wait until the appliance reaches the required temperature itself.
