•  Activate the fast freeze function by pressing the button (C) for 

continuous operation 24 hours prior intended freezing. 

 - 

control unit I:

 with knob A, position 

SUPERFREEZE/

FRESHEXCEL;

 - 

control unit II:

 with key C;

 - 

mechanical regulation:

 knob position approximately 

between 4 and 6.

Upon expiry of this period insert fresh food 

in the freezing 

compartment

. Do not let the already frozen packages touch the 

fresh ones.  

Be sure to provide the NO FROST freezer models with enough 
room below the ceiling for cool air circulation, so avoid storing 
food over the marked maximum storage level (see Fig.).

•  After 24 hours you may relocate the food 

to the storage 

compartment,

 and repeat the freezing procedure if required. 

You may also remove the drawers and store frozen food 
directly on cooling shelves.

•  For freezing smaller quantities of fresh food (1-2 kg), the 

engagement of the fast freeze function is not required.

•  Freeze only such food which is suitable for freezing and sustain 

low temperatures. Food should be of adequate quality and 
fresh. 

•  Select adequate packaging for each kind of food and pack it 

correctly.

•  The packaging should be air tight and well sealed without 

leaking since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and 
dehydration.

•  Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods 

and the date of loading.

•  It is imperative that food is frozen as quickly as possible. We 

therefore recommend the size of the package not to be too 
large and to be cooled before loading into the freezer.

•  The amount of the fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer 

as a single load is declared on the rating plate. If the loaded 
amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced which in 
turn affects the quality of frozen foods.
