Setting the freezing
temperature
WARNING
Health hazard!
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. This
can then lead to an increase in temper-
ature in the fridge and freezer.
■
Always ensure the prescribed ambi-
ent temperature is maintained (see
“Intended use” on page EN-4).
The temperature range for the freezing mode
is between
−
16 °C and
−
24 °C. The ideal
freezing mode temperature is
−
18 °C.
-16°C
-18°C
-20°C
-22°C
-24°C
If, for example in summer, the temperature
increases, select a lower temperature setting
accordingly.
• Press the button (10) as often as
required until the desired temperature
setting illuminates. The temperature is re-
duced in a series of predefined steps.
corresponds to the ‘Quick freez-
ing’ function (see “Quick freezing” on
page EN-16).
If you set a lower temperature, you will need
a higher cooling performance. This increases
the energy consumption.
Quick freezing
Select the ‘Quick freezing’ function to create
a cold reserve inside the appliance. A cold
reserve will let you cool the appliance before
storing food or freezing fresh food.
• Press the button (10) as often as re-
quired until the
display illuminates.
The ‘Quick freezing’ function is switched
on.
The function switches off automatically af-
ter 24 hours, and the temperature returns
to the last setting used.
As soon as the appliance’s contents are suffi-
ciently cooled, you can end the function in ad-
vance by manually setting the temperature.
Keep fresh goods out of contact with existing
frozen foods, as the frozen foods could start
to defrost. If contact with stored food cannot
be avoided, we recommend that you create
a cold reserve in the freezer before freezing
the fresh goods.
Freezing food
Freezing means cooling fresh, room-tem-
perature food to a frozen state in the core
as quickly as possible – for best results,
‘flash-frozen’. If not cooled quickly enough,
the food will be “killed by frost”, i.e. the struc-
ture will be destroyed.
Freezing food has a positive effect on its
shelf life. This will help to avoid food waste.
A constant storage temperature is needed to
maintain the food’s consistency, taste and nu-
tritional value.
Set the temperature in the fridge compart-
ment to –18 °C. In this way, you can ensure
that the temperature conditions inside are
optimally utilised, guaranteeing optimal food
storage.
