The BioFresh compartment allows some types of fresh food to be stored up to three times longer than in conventional refriger- ators, without compromising quality. For food with an indicated best before date, the date specified on the packaging always applies. 5.5.1 HydroSafe The HydroSafe at the moist setting is suited for storing unwrapped salad, vegetables and fruit with high inherent mois- ture. When the drawer is well filled, a dewy climate with up to 90% humidity is established. The humidity in the compartment depends on the moisture content of the food stored and on the opening frequency. You can set the humidity yourself. 5.5.2 DrySafe The DrySafe is suitable for storing dry or wrapped food (e.g. dairy products, meat, fish, sausages). A relatively dry storage climate is established here. 5.5.3 Storing food Note u Vegetables sensitive to cold, such as cucumbers, aubergines, semi-ripe tomatoes, zucchinis and all tropical fruits sensitive to cold, do not belong in the BioFresh compartment. u To prevent food spoilage due to transfer of germs: Store unwrapped animal and vegetable products separate from one another in the drawers. This also applies to different sorts of meat. If food has to be stored together due to lack of space: u wrap the food. 5.5.4 Storage times Standard values for storage time at low humidity Butter up to 90 days Hard cheese up to 110 days Milk up to 12 days Sausage, cold meat up to 9 days Poultry up to 6 days Pork up to 7 days Beef up to 7 days Game up to 7 days Note u Please note that protein-rich food deteriorates faster, i.e. shellfish and crustaceans deteriorate faster than fish, fish faster than meat. Standard values for storage time at high humidity Vegetables, salad Artichokes up to 14 days Celery up to 28 days Cauliflower up to 21 days Broccoli up to 13 days Chicory up to 27 days Lamb's lettuce up to 19 days Peas up to 14 days Standard values for storage time at high humidity Kale up to 14 days Carrots up to 80 days Garlic up to 160 days Kohlrabi up to 55 days Lettuce up to 13 days Herbs up to 13 days Leek up to 29 days Mushrooms up to 7 days Radishes up to 10 days Brussels sprouts up to 20 days Asparagus up to 18 days Spinach up to 13 days Savoy cabbage up to 20 days Fruit Apricots up to 13 days Apples up to 80 days Pears up to 55 days Blackberries up to 3 days Dates up to 180 days Strawberries up to 7 days Figs up to 7 days Blueberries up to 9 days Raspberries up to 3 days Currants up to 7 days Sweet cherries up to 14 days Kiwis up to 80 days Peaches up to 13 days Plums up to 20 days Cranberries up to 60 days Rhubarb up to 13 days Gooseberries up to 13 days Grapes up to 29 days 5.5.5 Adjusting the temperature in the BioFresh compartment The temperature is automatically regulated to between 0 °C and 3 °C, the recommended temperature is 1 °C. You can adjust the temperature slightly colder or warmer. The temperature can be adjusted from b1 (coldest temperature) to b9 (warmest temperature). The presetting is b5. At the b1 to b4 settings the temperature may drop below 0 ° C and therefore the food may freeze slightly.

The air temperature in the compartment, measured by thermom- eter or other instruments, may fluctuate. 5.6.1 Freezing food CAUTION Risk of injury due to broken glass! Bottles and cans containing drinks may burst when being frozen. This applies particularly to sparkling drinks. u Do not freeze bottles and cans containing drinks! In order that the food is rapidly frozen through to the core, do not exceed the following quantities per pack: - Fruit, vegetables up to 1 kg - Meat up to 2.5 kg u Pack the food in portions in freezer bags, reusable plastic, metal or aluminium containers. u Spread the food over the shelf. Do not allow it to contact and thaw items that are already frozen. u Set the temperature back again 24 h after placing the food inside. 5.6.2 Storage times Guide times for storing various types of food in the freezer compartment: Ice cream 2 to 6 months Sausage, ham 2 to 6 months Bread, bakery products 2 to 6 months Game, pork 6 to 10 months Fish, fatty 2 to 6 months Fish, lean 6 to 12 months Cheese 2 to 6 months Poultry, beef 6 to 12 months Vegetables, fruit 6 to 12 months Storage times given are guide times. 5.6.3 Thawing food - in the refrigerator compartment - at room temperature - in a microwave oven - in a conventional or fan oven u Food once thawed should be re-frozen only in exceptional cases. 5.6.4 SuperFrost With this function you can freeze fresh food quickly through to the core. The appliance operates with maximum refrigeration. The noise of the refrigeration unit may be temporarily louder as a result. In addition, frozen food already in storage is given a "cold reserve". The food stays frozen longer as a result when you defrost the appliance. 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 rating. Freezing with SuperFrost 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 Fig. 3 (8) once. w The SuperFrost symbol Fig. 3 (13) shines. w The freezer temperature drops, the appliance operates with maximum refrigerating performance. Control 10

u wait about 6 h. u Place the fresh food in the drawers. For the maximum amount of food: u wait about 24 h. w SuperFrost is automatically deactivated. Depending on the quantity placed inside, after 30 h at the earliest, 65 h at the latest. w The SuperFrost symbol Fig. 3 (13) goes out. w The appliance continues to operate in the energy-saving, normal mode. 6 Maintenance 6.1 Defrosting 6.1.1 Defrosting refrigerator compartment The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically. The water evaporates. Drops of water on the rear wall are functionally conditioned and perfectly normal. u Clean the drain hole at regular intervals to allow the defrost water to drain (see 6.2) . 6.1.2 Defrosting freezer compartment A layer of frost and ice forms in the freezer compartment after the appliance has been in use for a lengthy period of time. This is quite normal. The layer of frost and ice forms more quickly if the door is opened frequently 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. CAUTION Risk of injury and damage as a result of hot steam! u Do not use electric heaters or steam cleaners, naked flames or defrosting sprays for defrosting. u Do not remove ice using sharp instruments. u Switch on SuperFrost one day before defrosting. u Switch off the appliance. w The temperature display goes out. w If the temperature display does not go out, the child-proofing function (see 5.2) is active. u Pull out the plug. u Wrap the frozen food in newspaper or blankets and store in a cool place. u Place a pan with hot, not boiling water on the floor of the compartment. w Defrosting is speeded up. u Leave the compartment and appli- ance door open during defrosting. u Remove detached pieces of ice. u If necessary, pick up defrost water several times, using a sponge or cloth. u Clean the compartment (see 6.2) . 6.2 Cleaning the appliance Before cleaning: CAUTION Risk of injury and damage as a result of hot steam!

Outside surfaces and interior: u Clean the plastic surfaces, outside and inside, by hand using lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid. NOTICE* The stainless steel doors are provided with a high-quality surface coating and must not be treated using the accompanying care product. Otherwise the surface coating will be affected. u Wipe the coated door surfaces using a soft, clean cloth only. In case of stubborn dirt, use a little water or a neutral cleaning agent. A microfibre cloth can be optionally used. u If the stainless steel side walls are dirty, clean them using a commercially available stainless steel cleaning agent. Then evenly apply the accompanying stainless steel care product, making strokes in the direction of the grain. u Wipe side walls with a paint finish using a soft, clean cloth only. In case of stubborn dirt, use a little water or a neutral cleaning agent. A microfibre cloth can be optionally used. Do not apply stainless steel cleaning agent to glass or plastic surfaces to prevent them from being scratched. Darker areas at the beginning and quite an intensive colour of the stainless steel surface are normal. u To clean the drain opening: remove any deposits with a fine instrument, e.g. a cotton bud. Items of equipment: u Clean items of equipment by hand with lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid. u For cleaning, remove the support rails for the half-sized glass shelves. u To dismantle the shelves: remove the trims and side parts. u To dismantle the storage rack: remove the protective film from the decorative trims. u Lift out the boxes and lift the covers for removal.

The compressor runs for a long time. → The compressor switches to a low speed when little cold is needed. Although the running time is increased as a result, energy is saved. u This is normal in energy-saving models. → SuperFrost is activated. u The compressor runs for longer in order to rapidly cool the food. This is normal. → SuperCool is activated. u The compressor runs for longer in order to rapidly cool the food. This is normal. Excessive noise. → Speed-controlled* compressors may produce varying running noise due to different speed steps. u The sound is normal. A bubbling and gurgling noise. → This noise comes from the refrigerant flowing in the refriger- ation circuit. u The sound is normal. A quiet clicking noise. → The noise is produced whenever the refrigeration unit (motor) automatically switches on or off. u The sound is normal. A hum. It is briefly a little louder when the refrigeration unit (the motor) switches on. → The refrigeration increases automatically when the Super- Frost, function is activated, fresh food has just been placed in the appliance or the door has been left open for a while. u The sound is normal. → The refrigeration increases automatically when the Super- Cool function is activated, fresh food has just been placed in the appliance or the door has been left open for a while. u The sound is normal. → The ambient temperature is too high. u Solution: (see 1.2) A low hum. → The sound is produced by air flow noise of the fan. u The sound is normal.
