SmartFresh drawersThe SmartFresh drawers provide theright combination of temperature andhumidity. The result is freshness up tothree times longer than in the otherzones of the refrigerator.Storage temperaturesFor fresh foods that are not adverselyaffected by cold, the best range is32 - 37 F (0 - 3 C). This helps to keepthe food fresh considerably longer thanin the rest of the refrigerator, spoiling isminimal.The temperature is set to approx. 35 F(1.5 C).HumidityThe closer the humidity in the appliancematches the moisture content of thefood, the more moisture the food willretain, and the fresher and crisper it willstay over a longer period of time.The optimal humidity is determined onthe basis of the food stored in theappliance.Proper humidity is assisted by 2humidity filters located above theSmartFresh drawers. These filters allowair to pass through, yet retain moisture.Using the SmartFresh drawers Use the sensor button to select thedesired drawer.The selected sensor button turnsyellow, and the sensor buttons for thefood choices appear.The most recently selected food type(s)appear yellow. Use the sensor buttons to select thefood type(s).– Several food types can be selectedat the same time.– To delete a food type, simply press itagain.– Depending on the food typesselected, the optimal humidity isdetermined for the SmartFreshdrawers.– The "deli" and "dairy" settings are themost energy efficient. Touch the access button to confirmthe settings. Place the food in the drawer. Repeat the process above toadditional food types.16

SmartFresh drawersTips for storing food in theSmartFresh drawersFor optimal storage conditions, it isalways best to store similar foodstogether in one drawer.The upper SmartFresh drawer is thebest place to store moisturesensitive foods.Be sure the drawers are clean anddry before placing food in them.Foods that are best stored under dryconditions– fresh fish and shellfish, meats,poultry, sausage, dairy products anddeli salads.Foods that are best stored undermoist conditions– fresh produce, e.g., vegetables,lettuce, herbs, mushrooms,cabbage, fruit.Remember that higher moisture levelscan only be attained when the food isstored unpacked so air can circulatefreely.17

Using the refrigerator efficientlyDifferent storage zonesColdest areaDue to the natural circulation of air inthe appliance, there are differenttemperature zones in the refrigerator.Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowestsection of the appliance. Make use ofthese different zones when placingfood in the appliance.The coldest area in the refrigerator isdirectly above the SmartFresh drawers.The temperature in the drawersthemselves is even colder.Use these cold areas in the refrigeratorfor all highly perishable foods, such as:– fish, meat, poultry,This appliance uses a dynamiccooling feature to establish aconstant temperature duringcooling. As a result, the differencesbetween temperature zones are lesspronounced.Leave some space between items, soair can circulate freely around them.Make sure the ventilation slits are notcovered - this is important for thecooling performance.Warmest areaThe warmest area is in the top sectionof the door. Use this area to store itemssuch as butter and cheese.– deli meats, store-bought meals,– dishes or baked goods containingeggs or cream,– fresh bread dough, pastry dough,cake batters,– dairy products.If storing high-proof alcohol, makesure it is tightly closed and storedupright.Do not store cooking oil in therefrigerator door. Traces of oil cancause stress cracks to occur in theplastic components in the door.Do not allow food to touch the rearwall of the appliance, it may freezeto the wall.18

SuperCoolWhen the SuperCool function isactivated, the appliance is cooled ascold and quickly as possible (to afactory-preset temperature).The SuperCool function is ideal for therapid cooling of drinks and forrefrigerating large quantities of foods.Switching on SuperCool Touch the sensor button for therefrigerator so it turns yellow. Touch the SuperCool sensor buttonso it turns yellow.In the temperature display for therefrigerator zone, the new temperaturesetting appears, 35 F (2 C).Switching off SuperCoolThe SuperCool function automaticallyswitches off after approx. 6 hours. Thesensor button turns white, and theappliance continues running at normalpower.To save energy, the SuperCool functioncan be switched off early, once thefood and/or drinks are sufficientlychilled. Touch the SuperCool sensor buttonso that it turns white.The temperature display for the zoneselected returns to the originaltemperature setting.The appliance now continues runningat normal power.The temperature in the appliance nowbegins to fall, with maximum cooling inthe refrigerator zone.19

Automatic defrostRefrigerator and SmartFreshdrawersThe refrigerator and SmartFreshdrawers defrost automatically.During normal operation, condensateand frost can form on the rear wall ofthe refrigerator and drawers.You do not need to remove thisbuild-up, it will defrost and evaporateautomatically with the heat generatedby the appliance.20
