Luigi, regarding the freezer drawers: Does each on vary in size such that it's recommended for varios sorts of packaged material? or does one simply put things wherre they best fit. Also, does each drawer have a different degree of freeze level (0, -10, -20) for varioius tempeerature requirements? Hey, just thinking of some unique applications if it was the reality of the machine.
 
Hey Louis, thanks for the information about the ice maker. I just got done straightening out my freezer and kept thinking how great these drawers would be!! Love that combo oven too!!! Terry
 
"The old fridge's insulation had started to detoria

So the insulation of a fridge has a limited lifetime? My fridge is running almost constantly too. That could explain it: the fridge is 28 years old.

I must say that I have no idea about its electricity use when it was new. I didn't have one of those energy monitoring gadgets then. I think that these things didn't even exist at that time.
 
Bosch Gourmet + answer to Bob (Appnut)

Hi Louis,
time ago Panthera wrote that some BSH fridges come from the same works that make Mieles and Liebherr

I guess your Bosch indeed is sourced from this very factory, looks very similar to the Liebherr I bought 2 years ago. It was 200 € cheaper than the same miele-equivalent model, just the outer styling is different

What about the Gourmet ?

I have a 12 y.o. Philips/Whirlpool made in Sweden one and since we had this oven we rarely used the big one built inside the cabinets
We often use forced air toghether with microwaves ... cakes cook in half time.
Microwave ovens are the only reliable whirlpool stuff I have ever had to do with

@ Bob/Appnut - No, all those drawers have the same temp, as it has a forced air freezing system and they are in the same "tub".
We have multi temp fridge-freezers (fridge + freezer + cellar + 32°F compartement for fresh fish/meat) but these compartements are phisically divided

An example is Liebherr BioFresh system
... it's funny : Liebherr makes cranes too !! :-))

oooh Louis, what a nice combo oven. I didn't relaize it was a m-waver as well!

So what are the buttons 90,180,360,600, 800. Seconds of time? Can't be degrees *C or *F ............

Am I crazy, but I thought your cooktop was an older classic thing at one time. Is this one new? It is lovely! It's over the dishwasher, isn't it?
 
Ice Makers

are usually the first thing to "go" on U.S. refrigerators. I would never want one. My reason is always the same: "Is the recipe that hard???"
 
90,180,360,600, 800

That is the variable (or stepped ) power control for the microwave 800 watts, 600 watts etc...

Mielabor.....

Your fridge may need re-gassing with refrigerant or your thermostat has gone. Insulation is not normally the cause of a compressor to run almost constantly.
 
Microwave wattage/power

Lee, don't tell this to Friedriksam, otherwise he 'll post on youtube some vids of a microwave with the plate spinning @ 800 rpm *LOL*

Louis, I too have that Norden table in the kitchen
 
I'm not sure about the Liebherr origin, there was a Liebherr next to this one and they were quite different from eachother. The drawers indeed all have the same temperature.

The 90, 180, 360, 600 and 800 are the settings in Watts for the microwave. There is no turning table, just a turning antenna at the centre of the top of the oven. Besides from a microwave and a convection oven it also has a broiler and a conventional heating system. I love it!

The old fridge had a big bubble on the back, apparently it had swollen up, somehow water must have gotten into the insulation.

The burners on the classic cooktop were difficult to regulate. Six years ago I came across this ATAG cooktop in a thriftstore. It was only 15 Euros (around $20.-). It works great, but the stainless steel is hard to clean.
 
Aha! Variable watts. DING! DING! DING! DING! Makes perfect sense. Would you believe I have never heard of that here?
AFAIK, variable "heats/speeds" here in a m-wave are achieved by on/off cycling of the magnetron. (Part that generates the m-waves).
 
variable "heats/speeds" here in a m-wave are achie

Well, Panasonic's Inverter Technology achieves this same result--simply not turning the magnetron off & on. I can tell a significant difference when dealing with lower power settings and great results.
 
No visible gletscher in this fridge! The bottle of maple syrup was €4.39 I think which makes it a bit more than 6 dollars. I found this A grade syrup in a supermarket in Germany after Eddy brought me a bottle of A grade. Most maple syrups sold in the Netherlands are C grade.

Just one correction about the micro wave. It doesn't have inverter technology, this one cycles on and off too. But most microwaves come with Wattage settings here to make it easier to convert cooking times for instant stuff.
 
well, well Louis

I'm sorry I saw this thread so late! I just love your new Bosch fridge. We're needing a new fridge too, our old one can't keep up in the heat wave we've had in Vancouver where daytime temp were in the high 30's. Of course I'd love the Stainless Miele, but at $8000 I think we have to compromise for a Samsung or LG.
