BIOFRESH COMPARTMENT  
Tips:  
The BioFresh Compartment  
• The humidity in the compartment depends on  
The BioFresh compartment enables you to keep a  
range of fresh food fresh for up to three times as  
long as you would in a standard refrigerator, thus  
making your food last longer. Taste, freshness and  
nutritional value (vitamin B and C group content)  
remain largely intact. Spoilage and weight loss in  
vegetables and fruit are reduced, leaving food more  
fresh and natural.  
the moisture content of the food in it, and the  
frequency with which the compartment is  
opened.  
• When buying food, make sure it is fresh; the  
fresher the product and the higher the quality,  
the longer it will keep.  
• Unwrapped meat and vegetables should be  
stored separately in the drawers. If there is not  
enough space for them to be stored separately,  
make sure they are wrapped.  
The automatically controlled storage temperature,  
which is kept between 32°F and 36°F (0°C and  
2°C), and the resulting humidity provide the ideal  
storage conditions for different types of food.  
• Do not allow different types of meat to come into  
contact with one another but keep them  
packaged separately to avoid premature  
bacterial spoilage.  
The top drawer:  
• is suitable for storing dry and wrapped food (e.g.  
dairy products, meat, fish, cold meats). The  
storage climate in this drawer is relatively dry.  
• Note that protein-rich food spoils more quickly,  
i.e. crustaceans and shellfish spoil faster than  
fish, and fish faster than meat.  
The drawer with humidity control:  
• can be set to “humid” for storage of unwrapped  
salad, vegetables and fruit. When the drawer is  
full, the climate will be “dew-fresh,with  
approximately 90% humidity.  
• Remove food from the drawers some time before  
consumption. Enjoyment will be enhanced in this  
way as the aroma and flavor develop best at  
room temperature.  
You can set the humidity in this drawer to dry or  
moist as desired.

storage period in months for different kinds of  
frozen foods. Storage times given are guidelines for  
food frozen at home. Whether or not the lower or  
upper value is applicable depends on the food  
quality and how it was processed prior to freezing.  
The lower values always apply to food with a high  
fat content.  
• The maximum amount of food which can be  
frozen in 24 hours is shown on the model plate  
(“Freezing capacity ... kg/24h”), (Fig. 1, 31). This  
amount varies according to the model and  
climate rating.

• For small amounts of frozen food, it is normally  
sufficient to turn ON SuperFrost six hours  
beforehand. For the maximum amount (see  
freezing capacity on the model plate) you will  
need to turn it ON 24 hours before.  
Figure 7  
Freezer Tray* - Figure 8  
• Then place the fresh food inside the freezer,  
preferably in the top drawers. If freezing the  
maximum quantity of food, DO NOT use the  
drawers; instead, place the wrapped food directly  
on the glass shelves. Once the food is frozen,  
you can place it into the drawers.  
The freezer tray allows individual freezing of  
berries, herbs, vegetables and other small goods. It  
prevents foods from freezing together.  
Items being frozen will retain more of their shape,  
and it will be easier to remove exactly the right  
quantity later for use.  
• The SuperFrost function turns OFF  
automatically. Depending on the quantity of food  
placed in the freezer, this will normally be  
between 30 and maximum of 65 hours. The  
freezing process is now complete; the  
SuperFrost LED will turn OFF, and the freezer  
will change back to normal energy-saving  
operation.  
1. Spread the items out loosely on the tray.  
2. Suspend the freezer tray in one of the top  
drawers. Freeze for 10 to 12 hours, then transfer  
to a freezer bag or container and place in a  
drawer.  
3. To defrost, spread the frozen items out loosely.  
IMPORTANT  
You should not turn ON the SuperFrost function:  
when placing frozen food in the freezer;  
when freezing up to approximately 4-1/2 lbs  
(2 kg) fresh food daily.

To save space, you can freeze and store the cold-  
storage accumulators in the freezer tray.  
To ensure maximum storage time in the event of  
a power failure, place the frozen cold-storage  
accumulators in the top freezer drawer on top of  
the food.

when partially thawed.  
Do Not Freeze:  
Lettuce, radishes, grapes, whole apples, pears, and  
fatty meat.  
- Vegetables can be cooked from frozen ( in  
half the normal time).  
Storage - Figure 10  
Food to Freeze:  
Each drawer and shelf can take up to 55 lbs  
(25 kg) of frozen food.  
Meat, game, poultry, fresh fish, vegetables, fruit,  
dairy products, bread, baked goods, pre-cooked  
meals.  
By removing a drawer and a shelf you can create a  
double height space for big items of frozen food.  
This allows you to freeze things like poultry, large  
pieces of meat or large cakes without first having to  
cut them up, so they can be served “whole”  
afterwards.  
• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or  
reusable plastic, metal or aluminum containers.  
• Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to  
come into contact with food already frozen.  
Always keep packages dry in order to avoid  
them sticking together.  
If you want to use the maximum net capacity, you  
can remove the drawers and store items directly on  
the shelves.  
• Always write the date and contents on the  
package and do not exceed the stated storage  
time for the food. This prevents spoiling.  
• Always leave the bottom drawer in the appliance.  
If you removed the top drawer, do not cover the fan  
openings at the back, otherwise the freezer will not  
work properly.  
• Pack food which you are freezing yourself in  
quantities right for your household. To ensure the  
food freezes right through quickly, the following  
quantities should not be exceeded per package:  
- fruit, vegetables: up to 2-1/4 lbs (1 kg);  
- meat: up to 5-1/2 lbs (2.5 kg).  
Removing Drawers  
Pull forward until the drawer stops and lift out.  
• Blanch vegetables after washing and cutting  
them. (Add to boiling water for 2-3 minutes,  
remove and quickly cool down in cold water. If  
you blanch with a steamer or microwave oven,  
please follow the operating instructions.)  
Removing and Installing the  
Shelves  
Lift the shelf up at the front and pull out. To install,  
proceed in reverse and simply push the shelf in as  
far as it will go.  
• Do not salt or season fresh food or blanched  
vegetables before freezing. Only lightly salt and  
season other food. Some spices can alter their  
flavor intensity.  
• Always store identical food items together to  
avoid the door being open for unnecessary long  
periods and to save energy.  
• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain  
carbonated drinks as they might burst. Drinks  
can be cooled down quickly, but take the bottles  
out of the freezer compartment after an hour at  
the most.  
• Do not exceed storage times given.  
• Only take out as much food as needed for  
thawing. Cook food which has been thawed as  
quickly as possible. Frozen food can be thawed  
in the following ways:  
Figure 10  
- in a microwave oven  
- in the refrigerator: the safer way to thaw food  
because there is less chance of bacteria  
growth. Use this method for high density food  
such as roasts or poultry.

temperature inside the freezer compartment. The  
lower the temperature, the more ice can be  
produced over a period of time.  
The IceMaker will only work if the combined  
refrigerator-freezer is connected to the electrical  
outlet. It will only make ice cubes if the freezer  
compartment is operating.  
The ice cubes fall out of the icemaker into the  
drawer. When the ice reaches a certain level in the  
drawer, the appliance stops producing ice  
automatically.  
The IceMaker is in the top left drawer in the freezer  
compartment of the combined refrigerator-freezer.  
You can identify this drawer by its labeling  
“IceMaker.”  
If you need a large quantity of ice you can change  
out the drawer to the right with the complete  
“IceMaker” drawer. When you close the drawer the  
icemaker will immediately start production.
