SuperFreezing quickly cools down the freezer to freeze new food items rapidly. Press the SuperFreezing button before adding new items to the freezer.
What is the BigBox drawer for?
The BigBox drawer is designed for storing large and bulky items such as gateaux, pizzas, or frozen containers.
What should I do if the door alarm goes off?
Check that the door is closed properly. Make sure items aren't blocking the door. If it is still on, contact Bosch support.
How do I adjust the temperature?
Refer to your user manual for the exact procedure. Typically, you will use the control panel to set the desired temperature.
What is FreshSense technology?
FreshSense maintains a constant temperature inside the fridge to keep your food fresher for longer.

Troubleshooting
Freezer not cooling.
Check the power supply, ensure the unit is plugged in correctly, and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Also, ensure the door is closed properly.
Excessive ice build-up.
Check that the door is sealing properly. Ensure the freezer isn't overloaded and that items aren't blocking the vents. If ice buildup persists, defrost the freezer following the manual instructions.
Freezer is noisy.
Ensure the freezer is level. Some operational noise is normal; however, excessive noise could indicate a problem with the compressor. Contact Bosch support if the noise is unusual.
