The most important characteristic

• The appliance can be used as a freezing unit or as a refrigerator depen-

ding on requirement. For this purpose, the operation mode "Freezing"

or the operation mode "Cooling" can be selected on the appliance.

– In the operation mode "Freezing", the appliance is usable for

freezing and deep-temperature storage with temperatures from

-15 °C up to -24 °C.

– In the operation mode "Cooling", this appliance can be operated as

a "long fresh" cooling unit with temperatures of 0 °C to +2 °C,

whereby a dry cabinet interior climate is attained through the no-

frost (frost-free) technology. The appliance can also be used in the

adjustable temperature range of up to +16 °C as a chilled cupboard

for food and drink. Naturally, it is also usable as a "normal"

refrigerator for the temperature range of +2 °C to +5 °C.

• TURBO can be selected depending on purpose and need.

– In the operation mode "Cooling", TURBO is suitable for fast

cooling larger quantities when in the refrigerator mode, e.g. for

drinks or salads during a party. Thereby, a DESIRED temperature of

+2 °C is automatically preset. After 6 hours have expired, the

TURBO function is terminated automatically.

– In the operation mode "Freezing", TURBO caters for quick freezing

of fresh foodstuffs and protects at the same time the foodstuff

already stored against undesired temperature increase when in the

freezer mode. The electronics of the appliance recognises

automatically, when the quick freezing mode can be completed,

and automatically switches off the TURBO function. (Depending

upon the quantity to be frozen after 30 up to maximum 51 hours).

• The no-frost (frost free) system enables both the freezing of fresh

foodstuff as well as the storage of readily frozen or cooled foodstuff

by cold air. An evaporator cools the air in the interior space of the

appliance, which is circulated and uniformly distributed by a

ventilator. This uniformly circulating air-flow creates for a dry

climate, low temperature fluctuations and low temperature

differences in the entire appliance interior. The moisture in the air

condenses as frost on the evaporator. The evaporator thaws/defrosts -

automatically, as soon as this is necessary. The melted water is

drained off outside to the compressor and evaporates through the

heat generated by the latter. Thus, the interior of the appliance and

the stored cooled or frozen foodstuffs always remain fresh and ice-

free. Manual thawing/defrosting is not necessary.
