The noise of the refrigeration unit may be temporarily louder as a result. The maximum amount of fresh food which can be frozen in 24 h is indicated on the type plate under "freezing capacity ... kg/ 24h". This amount varies according to the model and climate rat- ing. Freezing with SuperFrost You do not have to activate SuperFrost in the following cases: - when placing frozen food in the freezer - when freezing up to about 2 kg fresh food a day u Briefly press the SuperFrost button (2) once. w The SuperFrost button (2) shines. w The freezer temperature drops, the appliance operates with maximum refrigerating performance. For a small amount of food: u wait about 6 h. u Place the fresh food in the top drawers. For the maximum amount of food: u wait about 24 h. u Place wrapped food straight on the shelves and, once frozen, put it into the drawers. w SuperFrost is automatically deactivated. Depending on the quantity placed inside, after 30 h at the earliest, 65 h at the latest. * w Freezing is concluded. w The SuperFrost button (2) is dark. w The appliance continues to operate in the energy-saving, nor- mal mode. 5.7.5 Drawers Note The energy consumption increases and the cooling performance decreases if there is insufficient ventilation. For appliances with NoFrost: u Leave the bottom drawer in the appliance! u Always keep the air slits of the fan free at the rear wall! Control 11

u To store frozen food directly on the shelves: pull the drawer

forwards and lift it out. 5.7.6 Shelves u To remove the shelf: lift up at the front and pull out. u To put the shelf back: simply push in as far as it will go. 5.7.7 VarioSpace Apart from being able to remove the drawers, you can also remove the shelves, creating space for large items of frozen food. Poul- try, meat, large pieces of game and high bakery products can be frozen in one piece and prepared. u The maximum load of frozen food for an individual drawer or shelf is 25 kg. 5.7.8 Information system Fig. 33 (1) Ready-made meals, ice cream (4) Sausages, bread (2) Pork, fish (5) Game, mushrooms (3) Fruit, vegetables (6) Poultry, beef/veal The figures indicate the storage time in months for several types of frozen food in each case. Storage times given are guide times. 5.7.9 Freezer tray The freezer tray allows you to freeze berries, herbs, vegetables and other small items of food without them sticking together. Items being frozen will largely retain their shape, and it will be easier to remove exactly the right quantity later on. In addition, you can store the cold storage accumulators in the freezer tray to save space. Using the freezer tray u Spread the items out loosely on the freezer tray. u Attach the freezer tray in one of the upper drawers. u Allow the food to freeze through for 10 to 12 h. u Transfer the frozen food to freezer bags or containers. u Store freezer bags or containers in a drawer. u To thaw the items, spead them out loosely again. 5.7.10 Cold storage accumulators You can freeze and store the cold storage accumulators either in the freezer tray or in the ceiling of the freezer compartment, de- pending on type of appliance. * It is possible for cold storage ac- cumulators to be frozen in the ceiling only in appliances without NoFrost module!* With the top drawer re- moved: u to insert cold storage accu- mulators: slide cold storage accumulator into the top back of the freezer com- partment ceiling and snap into place at the front. With the top drawer re- moved: u to remove cold storage ac- cumulators: take hold of the cold storage accumulator at the side and press it down for removal. 5.7.11 IceMaker* The IceMaker is in the top drawer of the freezer compartment. The drawer is marked "IceMaker". Make certain that the following conditions are met: - The appliance is level. - The appliance is connected. - The freezer compartment is switched on. - The IceMaker is connected to the water supply. Switching on the IceMaker* Fig. 34 u Pull out the drawer. u Press the On/Off button Fig. 34 (1) so that the LED Fig. 34 (2) shines. u Push in the drawer. Note u The IceMaker produces ice cubes only if the drawer is fully closed. Switching off the IceMaker* If no ice cubes are needed, the IceMaker can be switched off independently of the freezer compartment. When the IceMaker is switched off, the IceMaker drawer can also be used for freezing and storing food. u Press the On/Off button for about 1 second until the LED goes out. u Clean the IceMaker. w This ensures that no water or ice remains in the IceMaker. Producing ice cubes* The production capacity depends on the freezer temperature. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes can be produced in a specific period. Control 12

The ice cubes drop out of the IceMaker into the drawer. When a

certain filling level is reached, no more ice cubes are produced. If large quantities of ice cubes are needed, the complete Ice- Maker drawer can be exchanged for the adjacent drawer. When the drawer is closed, the IceMaker automatically re-commences production. Once the IceMaker has been switched on for the first time, it may take up to 24 hours until the first ice cubes are produced. CAUTION Risk of damage to health! u Do not consume or use the first three loads of ice cubes. This applies if the appliance is used for the first time and if it has been out of use for a long time. This ensures that the water line is thoroughly rinsed. 6 Maintenance 6.1 Defrosting with NoFrost* The NoFrost system automatically defrosts the appliance. Refrigerator compartment: The defrost water evaporates due to the compressor heat. Drops of water on the rear wall are perfectly normal. u Regularly clean the drain opening to allow the water to flow away. (see section on cleaning the appliance) Freezer compartment: The moisture condenses on the evaporator, is periodically de- frosted and evaporates. u The appliance does not have to be manually defrosted. 6.2 Manual defrosting* The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically. The defrost water evaporates as a result of the heat of the compres- sor. Drops of water on the rear wall are perfectly normal. u Regularly clean the drain opening to allow the water to flow away. (see section on cleaning) A layer of frost or ice can build up in the freezer compartment after a long period of operation. The layer of frost or ice builds up faster if the appliance is opened often or if the food is warm when placed inside. However, a thick layer of ice will increase the appliance‘s energy consumption. You should therefore defrost the appliance regularly. u Switch on SuperFrost one day before defrosting. w The frozen goods are provided with a "cold reserve". u Switch off the appliance. w The temperature display goes out. w If the temperature display does not go out, the child lock func- tion (see section on child lock) is active. u Pull out the power plug or switch off the fuse. u Place cold storage accumulators on top of the frozen food. u If possible, put the frozen goods in the freezer drawer, wrap- ped in newspaper or a blanket, and store in a cool place. u Place a pan with hot, not boiling water on a middle shelf. -or- u Half-fill the two lower drawers with lukewarm water and put them in the appliance. w Defrosting is speeded up. w Defrost water is collected in the drawers. u Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting. u Pay attention that the defrost water does not run into the kitch- en unit. u If necessary, pick up defrost water several times, using a sponge or cloth. u Clean the appliance (see section on cleaning) and rub dry. 6.3 Cleaning the appliance. Before cleaning: CAUTION Risk of injury and damage as a result of hot steam! Hot steam may damage the surfaces and cause burns. u Do not use any steam cleaners!
