wc flashes in the display.
wThe child lock function is switched off.
To end the setting mode:
u Briefly press the On/Off button Fig. 2 (1).
w The temperature display shows the temperature again.
5.2 Refrigerator compartment
The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compartment results in zones differing in temperature. It is coldest directly above the vegetable drawers and at the rear wall. It is warmest at the top front of the compartment and in the door.
5.2.1 Food refrigeration
Note*
The energy consumption increases and the cooling perform- ance decreases if the ventilation is inadequate.
u Always keep the air slits of the fan free.
u Store perishable food such as ready-to-serve dishes, meat products and sausages in the coldest zone. Place butter and preserves in the upper area and in the door (see Appli- ance at a glance).
u Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminium and glass containers and cling film for wrapping.
u Always store liquids and food which is subject to odour or taste transfer in closed containers or cover them.
u Foods which give off a large amount of ethylene gas and delicate foods, such as fruit, vegetables, salad, should always be stored separately or wrapped so as not to reduce the storage life; e.g. do not store tomatoes together with kiwis or cabbage.
for appliances from 1218 mm in height, the following applies: u Use the front area of the refrigerator compartment floor only
for briefly putting down cooled products, e.g. when rear- ranging and sorting. However do not leave cooled products there otherwise they may be pushed back or tipped over when the door is closed.
u Do not store food too close together to enable good air circulation.
5.2.2 Setting the temperature
The temperature depends on the following factors:
-the frequency of opening the door
-the room temperature of the installation location
-the type, temperature and quantity of the food
Recommended temperature setting: 5 °C
An average temperature of approx. -18 °C is then established in the freezer compartment.*
The temperature can be adjusted continually. Once the 1 °C setting is reached, the sequence starts again at 9 °C .
u Call up temperature function: press the setting button Fig. 2 (3).
w The previously-set value will flash in the temper- ature display.
u Change the temperature in 1 °C steps: Press the setting button Fig. 2 (3) until the required temperature is indicated in the temperature display.
u Change temperature continually: hold down setting button.
w During adjustment the value flashes on the display.
w The new setting is adopted approx. 5 seconds after the last time the button was pressed and the set temperature displayed again. The temperature in the interior gradually adjusts to the new value.
5.2.3 SuperCool
With SuperCool you switch to the highest cooling performance to reach lower cooling temperatures. Use SuperCool, to rapidly cool large amounts of food.
When SuperCool is activated, the fan* may run. The appliance operates with maximum cooling performance, which means that the noise of the refrigeration unit may be temporarily louder.
The SuperCool function uses slightly more energy.
Cooling with SuperCool
u Briefly press SuperCool button Fig. 2 (4).
w The SuperCool symbol Fig. 2 (5) lights up in the display.
w The cooling temperature drops to the coldest value. Super- Cool is activated.
w SuperCool is automatically deactivated after 12 hours. The appliance continues to operate in the energy-saving, normal mode.
To prematurely deactivate SuperCool u Briefly press SuperCool button Fig. 2 (4).
w The SuperCool symbol Fig. 2 (5) goes out in the display. w SuperCool is deactivated.
5.2.4 Fan*
With the fan you can rapidly cool large quantities of fresh food or achieve a relatively even distribution of temperature across all the storage levels.
The forced-air cooling is to be recommended:
-at high room temperature (above33 °C )
-at high humidity
The forced-air cooling uses slightly more energy. To save energy, the fan switches off automatically when the door is open.
