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.

- Store food so that air can circulate properly  
around it. Do not pack the refrigerator too full. Do  
not cover the fan slits* at the back, otherwise the  
refrigerating capacity will be impaired!

- 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  
right. This setting is suitable for storing unwrapped  
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.  
W The racks, shelves and other components should be  
cleaned by hand as they are not dishwasher-safe.  
- Always remove the top door rack (butter and cheese  
compartment) together with the flap*. Then press  
one of the side walls carefully to the outside to  
release the flap pin. The flap can then be lifted out.  
Make sure not to damage any bushings*.

- Simply pull the drawer cover out towards you.  
When re-inserting, make sure the bearing pins  
snap into place in the grooves.  
The drawer and the cover must be flush with one  
another vertically.  
W The dust should be removed  
from the refrigeration unit  
and heat exchanger - metal  
grid at the back of the ap-  
pliance - once a year. Dust  
deposits increase energy con-  
sumption.  
W Ensure that none of the wires or other compo-  
nents are dislodged, bent or damaged.  
W Then connect/switch on the appliance.  
If the appliance is to be left switched off for any  
length of time, empty the appliance, disconnect the  
power supply, clean as described above and leave  
the door open so as to avoid odours.

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.
