11.2 Chill zones in the refrigerator compart-
ment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates
different chill zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the storage container.
Tip: Store highly perishable food such as fish, sausages
and meat in the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Tip: Store groceries that do not spoil easily in the warmest
zone, e.g. hard cheese and butter. Cheese can then con-
tinue to release its flavor and the butter will still be easy to
spread.

cubes in the freezer compartment.
The temperature can be set from 6 °F (−14 °C) to −7 °F
(−22 °C).
Long-term storage of food should be at 0 °F (−18 °C) or
lower.
The freezer compartment can be used to store perishable
food long-term. The low temperatures slow down or stop
the spoilage.
12.1 Tips for storing food in the freezer com-
partment
¡ Store food in air-tight packaging.
¡ Do not bring food which is to be frozen into contact with
frozen food.
¡ Place the food over the whole area of the frozen food
containers.
¡ To quickly and gently freeze larger quantities of fresh
food, place this in the bottom frozen food container.
¡ To ensure that the air can circulate freely in the appli-
ance, push the frozen food containers in as far as they
will go.
12.2 Tips for freezing fresh food
¡ Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
¡ Freeze food in portions.
¡ Cooked food is more suitable for freezing than food that
can be eaten raw.
¡ Vegetables: Wash, chop up and blanch before freezing.
¡ Fruit: Wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add sugar or
ascorbic acid solution.
¡ Food that is suitable for freezing includes baked items,
fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, eggs without
shells, cheese, butter and curd cheese, prepared meals
and leftovers.
¡ Food that is unsuitable for freezing includes lettuce,
radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, raw apples and pears,
yogurt, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.

nents.
Switch off ice cube production before disconnecting the
appliance from the drinking water connection.
13.1 Water filter
The water filter filters particles and the taste of chlorine out
of the water.
The water filter reduces further contamination, e.g. from
chloramines, lead and pharmaceutical products.
Note: The water filter does not filter bacteria or microbes
out of the water.
Change the water filter:
¡ Every 6 months.
¡ If flashes.
¡ If the water output has visibly reduced.
Tips
¡ A new water filter can be purchased from customer ser-
vice, your dealer or our website.
¡ If you do not want to use a water filter in your appliance
or an external water filter system is installed, you can
permanently replace the water filter with a bypass cap.
The bypass cap filters only large particles out of the wa-
ter and can be cleaned as required.
A bypass cap can be purchased from customer service
or our website.
