5 Using the appliance functions
Fast cooling/freezing
The fast cooling/freezing functions allow larger quantities of food, e.g. after a shopping
trip or freezing pre-cooked meals, to be cooled more quickly. The temperature of the re-
frigerating zone is lowered to the coldest value for 24 hours and similarly the temperat-
ure of the freezing zone is lowered to the coldest value for 54 hours. The SilentPlus func-
tion is interrupted for the duration for application-related reasons. During fast cooling/
freezing, the appliance operates at higher power, which increases the noise level above
the normal operating noise level. Both functions switch off automatically. To prevent food
that is already being stored from warming up: activate fast cooling/freezing several hours
beforehand (e.g. before going shopping).
To achieve maximum freezing capacity, the following must be observed: To freeze the
maximum quantity (see the identification plate), use the bottom freezer compartment
drawer and activate fast freezing at least 24 hours before storing the fresh food (pre-
freezing). Transfer already frozen food to the upper freezer compartment drawers. Distrib-
ute the food to be frozen evenly in the bottom freezer compartment drawer. Do not place
any more food for freezing in the freezer compartment for the next 24 hours during the
freezing process.
When a smaller quantity of food is to be frozen, the pre-freezing time may be
shortened.
Fast freezing does not need to be activated if storing food that is already frozen or
freezing up to about 1 kg of fresh food a day.
Holiday function
With the holiday function, only the freezer compartment is operated at the selected set
temperature. For hygiene reasons, the refrigerator compartment operates at a temperat-
ure of about 14 °C. Close the refrigerator compartment door. The holiday function is not
intended to be used for the purpose of storing food in the refrigerator compartment.
Sabbath mode
When the Sabbath mode is activated, all visual and acoustic warnings as well as operat-
ing and display elements are turned off for the selected duration (30, 54 or 78 hours).
Opening the appliance door will not affect the illumination or the behaviour of the appli-
ance. The illumination in the refrigerator compartment can be automatically activated if
the ambient temperature is low. Any timer running when the Sabbath mode is activ-
ated is ended, no acoustic signal is emitted.
The appliance doors must be closed firmly as the visual and acoustic warnings are
turned off!
When the Sabbath mode is activated, no error messages are displayed and no
warnings are given. In certain circumstances, the appliance switches to the emer-
gency mode or cannot maintain the refrigerating temperatures for other reasons.
Check the quality of the food. Do not eat food that has thawed!
Risk of food poisoning.
