LONGFRESH 0°C compartment
In the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the temperature is controlled
automatically. It stays constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment is nec-
essary.
The constant storage temperature of about 0°C and the relative
humidity of between 45 and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the
various kinds of food.
You can therefore store a variety of fresh food in the LONGFRESH0°C
compartment, where it will last up to 3 times longer with better qual-
ity compared to normal refrigerator compartments.
This allows you to stock more fresh food. Taste, degree of freshness,
quality and nutritional values (vitamins and minerals) are well pre-
served. Loss of weight in vegetables and fruit diminishes. Food yields
a higher degree of nutritional value.
The LONGFRESH 0°C compartment is also suitable for defrosting food.
In this case the thawed food can be stored up to two days in the
LONGFRESH 0°C compartment.

Humidity control

Both drawers can be used
according to the desired stor-
age conditions independently
of each other with lower or
higher humidity.
Regulation for each drawer is
separate and is controlled
using the slide valve at the
front of the drawer.
•“Dry“: low air humidity - up to 50 % relative humidity
This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set into this
position and the ventilation openings are wide open.
•“Humid“: high relative humidity - up to 90%
This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set in this posi-
tion and the ventilation openings are closed. Humidity is kept
and can not escape.

DESIRED temperature means:
The temperature that has been selected for inside the freezer. The DESIRED
temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the freezer.
The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.
Temperature display
The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information.
• During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the freezer
(ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.
• When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the
freezer temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature).
Starting Up - Setting the Temperature
1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.
2. Press ON/OFF button. The green mains pilot indicator illuminates. The alarm
light flashes since the temperature is reached. The buzzer sounds.
3. Pressing button “P” the buzzer stops.
4. Press either the “J“ or “L“ button. The temperature display switches over and
the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display.
5. Set the required temperature by pressing the “J“ or “L“ buttons (see section
"Temperature setting buttons"). The temperature display will immediately
show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the temperatu-
re is adjusted by 1 °C.
From a food safety point of view -18 °C should be considered sufficiently
cold for storing food in the freezer.
6. The alarm light,when the set temperature is reached. Press the alarm but-
ton to turn off the buzzer.

Ice packs

There are two ice packs in one drawer of the freezer.
In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will lengthen
the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by
several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task optimally if it is placed in
the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use the
ice pack for cooling cold bags.
