Special Functional Features

Memory Preservation in the Case of Power 
Failure

Every configuration will be preserved in the case of 

a separation from the mains supply and will come 

into operation again when the mains supply is 

re-established.

Delayed Restart after Mains Failure

So as to protect the appliance from damages, it 

cannot be turned on again immediately for a period 

of 5 minutes after a short separation from the 

mains supply. Wait a few minutes until the appli-

ance starts working again.

Interior Lighting

Do not take off the cover of the interior lighting. The 

appliance is equipped with high quality, durable 

LED-lighting. If the light is inoperative, call our 

after-sales service. 

Freezer Door

The freezer door should always stay closed so that 

the food does not defrost. Thereby, the formation of 

ice and frost accretion is reduced. Therefore, make 

sure that the door is only open for withdrawal of 

food or rather for filling the freezer. 

Freezing/Storing of Food

Freezer:

• 

The freezer is designed for the freezing of food, 

for the long-term storage of frozen food as well 

as for the appliance ion of ice cubes.

• 

Fresh food should be frozen to the core as quick-

ly as possible, so that the nutritional value, the 

vitamins, etc. do not get lost. For this reason, put 

the food in one or two rows in the freezer. 

• 

Do not bring them into contact with already 

frozen food.

• 

Do not exceed the freezing capacity per day! 

The respective value for the maximum freezing 

capacity can be taken from the appliance specifi

-

cation sheet at the end of the manual.

• 

The freezing time shortens if the food to be 

frozen is divided into small portions. 

• 

Store the frozen food in the appliance only pack-

aged. You can use uncoloured plastic sheets/

bags or aluminium foil as packaging material. 

Remove the air from the packaging before 

freezing and check for airtightness. Provide every 

packaging with a label with the content, date of 

freezing and date of expiry on it. 

• 

Do not freeze carbonated liquids, warm foods or 

liquids in a glass container or bottle.

• 

Defrost frozen appliances in the refrigerator. 

Foods keep their taste when they are defrosted 

slowly, and the emitted cooling energy from 

these appliances can be used to maintain the 

intended temperature in the refrigerator.

• 

If the appliance is turned off for a longer period 

of time, e.g., because of a mains failure, leave 

the door closed. Thereby, a more significant loss 

of cooling energy can be avoided. The maxi-

mum storage time during malfunction can be 

taken from the appliance specification sheet at 

the end of the manual. Because of the higher 

interior temperature, the storage time for food is 

shortened.

Data for expiry dates of frozen food are indicated in 

the chart per month. 

Do not store the frozen food longer than the given 

time in the freezer. Pay attention to the expiry date 

of the frozen food indicated by producer.

Refrigerator:

• 

Store the food only packaged or covered in the 

refrigerator, in order to sustain the flavour and 

the freshness. Especially foods with a strong 

smell or prone to absorbing smell (cheese, 

fish, butter, among others) have to be stored 

separately.

• 

There are different zones of low temperature in 

the refrigerator. The warmest zone is at the top 

of the door in the refrigerator. The coldest zone is 

on the back wall at the bottom of the refrigerator. 

• 

For this reason, arrange the food in the following 

way:

ū

On the trays in the refrigerator (from top to 

bottom): Pastries, ready dishes, dairy appli-

ances.

ū

In the ZeroBox: Sausages, meat and fish.

ū

In the VeggiBox: Vegetables, salad and fruits.

ū

In the door (from top to bottom): Butter, 

cheese, eggs, tubes, small bottles, big bottles, 

milk and juice bags.

•  At first, set an average cooling temperature. If 

the cooling is too strong, set a higher tempera-

ture and if the cooling is too weak, set a lower 

temperature. 

If frost is built upon the back wall, then the 

cause of this could be that the door was opened 

too long, warm dishes were in the appliance or 

the temperature was set too low.

• 

Warm foods have to be cooled down to room 

temperature before they can be stored in the 

appliance.

• 

Make sure that the door is closed correctly and 

that it is not blocked by cooled food.
