5.4 Refrigerator compartment
The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compart- ment results in zones differing in temperature. It is coldest directly above the vegetable drawers and at the rear wall. It is warmest at the top front of the compartment and in the door.
5.4.1 Refrigerating food
The coldest areas are directly above the vegetable compart- ments and along the back wall. The warmest area is at the top front and in the door.* u Store perishable foods such as ready-to-eat meals, meat
and sausages in the coldest area. Place butter and preserves in the top area and in the door. (see 1 Appliance at a glance) u Use reuseable plastic, metal, aluminium, glass containers and foil wrap to store food.

u Always store raw meat and fish in clean, sealed containers on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, to prevent them coming into contact with or dripping onto other foods.
u Foods that easily absorb or give off smell or taste, as well as liquids, should be stored in sealed containers or covered.
u Do not pack foods too closely together, as the air needs to circulate.
5.4.2 Setting the temperature
The temperature depends on the following factors:
– the frequency of opening the door – how long the door is open for – the room temperature of the installation location – the type, temperature and quantity of the food
An average temperature of approx. -18 °C is then estab- lished in the freezer compartment.*
The temperature is changed sequentially. Once the 2 °C setting is reached, the sequence starts again at 9 °C. u Call up temperature function: press the
setting button Fig. 2 (3). w The previously-set value will flash in the
temperature display. u Change the temperature in 1 °C steps: Press
the setting button Fig. 2 (3) until the required temperature is indicated in the temperature display. u Change temperature continually: hold down setting button. w During adjustment the value flashes on the display. w The new setting is adopted approx. 5 seconds after the last time the button was pressed and the set tempera- ture is again displayed. The temperature in the interior gradually adjusts to the new value.
5.4.3 SuperCool
SuperCool is for maximum cooling. This option is for very low temperatures:
– In the fridge compartment – In the freezer compartment*
Use SuperCool to quickly cool large amounts of food.
To freeze food, activate SuperCool when you place the goods in the appliance.*
When SuperCool is activated, the fan* may run. The appli- ance operates with maximum cooling performance, which means that the noise of the refrigeration unit may be temporarily louder.
The SuperCool function uses slightly more energy.
Switching onSuperCool u Briefly press SuperCool button Fig. 2 (2). w The SuperCool Fig. 2 (8) symbol lights up in the display. w The cooling temperature drops to the lowest setting. w SuperCool is on. w SuperCool turns off automatically. The appliance
continues in energy-saving Normal mode.
To prematurely deactivate SuperCool u Briefly press SuperCool button Fig. 2 (2). w The SuperCool symbol Fig. 2 (8) goes out in the display. w SuperCool is deactivated.

5.5.6 Ice cube tray

CAUTION Risk of injury due to broken glass! Bottles and cans containing drinks may burst when being frozen. This applies particularly to sparkling drinks. u Do not freeze bottles and cans containing drinks!

u Switch on SuperCool 4 hours before freezing and set the temperature to 4 °C or less.
u Once the food is frozen, you can reset the temperature and switch off SuperCool.
So that the food is rapidly frozen through to the core, do not exceed the following quantities per pack
– Fruit, vegetables up to 1 kg – Meat up to 2.5 kg u Pack the food in portions in freezer bags, reusable
plastic, metal or aluminium containers

6.1 Defrosting

5.5.4 Thawing food
– in the refrigerator compartment – in a microwave oven – in a conventional or fan oven – at room temperature u Remove only as much food as is required. Use thawed
food as quickly as possible. u Food once thawed should be re-frozen only in exceptional
cases.
5.5.5 Bowl in freezer compartment*

6.1.1 Defrosting refrigerator compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The defrosted water will evaporate. Water drops or a thin layer of frost or ice can form on the back wall; this is a completely normal part of the machine’s function. u Clean the drain hole at regular intervals to allow the
defrost water to drain (see 6.2 Cleaning the appliance) .
6.1.2 Defrosting freezer compartment*
A layer of frost and ice forms in the freezer compartment after the appliance has been in use for a lengthy period of time. This is quite normal. The layer of frost and ice forms more quickly if the door is opened frequently or if the food is warm when placed inside. However, a thick layer of ice will increase the appliance`s energy consumption. You should therefore defrost the appliance regularly.

9.1 Preparing appliance for disposal

Liebherr uses batteries in some of its appli- ances. In the EU, for environmental reasons, legislation obliges the end user to remove these batteries before disposing of old appli- ances. If your appliance contains batteries, a corresponding notice is attached.

Lamps

If you can remove the lamps yourself without destroying them, also remove these before disposal.

u Take the appliance out of operation. (see 8.2 Taking the appliance out of service)

* Depending on model and options

u Appliances with batteries: remove the batteries. For description, see Maintenance chapter.
u If possible: remove lamps without destroying them.
9.2 Disposing of the appliance in an environmentally friendly manner
The appliance still contains valuable materials and must be disposed of separately from unsorted municipal waste.

Lamps For Germany:

Dispose of batteries separately from the old appliance. To do this, you can return the batteries free of charge to retailers as well as recycling centres and collection centres for recyclable materials.
Dispose of removed lamps via the respective collection systems.
You can dispose of the appli- ance free of charge via the class 1 collection containers at the local recycling and recyclable material collection centres. When purchasing a new fridge/freezer, if the sales area > 400 m2, retailers will also take back the old appliance free of charge.
