Fast cooling

Fast cooling sets the refrigerator temperature to the
coldest temperature setting for approx. 6 hours. Then
the original temperature set before fast cooling mode
is automatically restored.

before placing large quantities of food in the
refrigerator compartment.
for fast cooling drinks.

noises may occur.

Switching on and off

The button is lit when fast cooling is switched on.

The "cool-fresh" compartment

The temperature in the fridge is about 0 °C. The low
temperature and the optimum moisture provide ideal
storage conditions for fresh food.
Food can be kept fresh up to three times longer in the
"cool-fresh" compartment than in the normal cooling
zone – for even longer freshness, nutrient retention
and flavour.

"Cool-fresh" container

The "cool-fresh" container has a temperature of
almost 0 °C and approx. 50 % air humidity.
This storage climate offers ideal conditions for storing
fish, meat, sausage, cheese and milk.

Humidity container

The humidity container is covered with a special filter
which optimises retention of the air humidity in the
storage compartment. As a result, there is up to 95 %
air humidity in the humidity container, depending on
the amount of products put in. This storage climate
offers ideal conditions for fresh fruit, salad greens,
vegetables, herbs and mushrooms.
Notes
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana,
papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive
to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini,
peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be
stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures of
approx. 8 °C to 12 °C for optimum preservation
of quality and flavour.
Condensation may form in the humidity container
depending on the type and quantity of products
stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth.
