5 Appliance functions
SilentPlus
This operating mode is designed to produce low noise emissions. The energy consump-
tion of the appliance may be slightly increased. Since the appliance is quiet during nor-
mal operation, the effect of SilentPlus is particularly perceptible at higher ambient tem-
peratures. In addition, the appliance reacts to the door being frequently opened or warm
food being loaded in a particularly noise-optimized way in the SilentPlus mode compared
to normal operation. SilentPlus is temporarily interrupted while PartyCooling and fast
cooling/freezing are running. The setting range of the temperature zones is limited
through SilentPlus.
PartyCooling
PartyCooling temporarily provides generally increased cooling capacity whereby the tem-
perature of the refrigerator compartment is lowered to the coldest value. This also ap-
plies to the second refrigerator compartment when in the MonoFridge mode. The appli-
ance can thus react better to the effect of opening the door frequently and loading warm
food.
This increases the noise emissions and energy consumption of the appliance. PartyCool-
ing can be set to run 12, 24 or 48 hours. SilentPlus is interrupted for the duration for ap-
plication-related reasons.
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 automatic-
ally. The fast freezing function is turned off when the MonoFridge mode is activated and
can be reactivated as fast cooling in the second refrigerator compartment for 24 hours.
To prevent food that is already being stored from warming up: activate fast cooling/freez-
ing 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.
