Super freezing
Food should be frozen solid as quickly
as possible in order to retain vitamins,
nutritional value, appearance and flavour.
Several hours before placing fresh food
in the freezer compartment, switch on
super freezing to prevent an unwanted
temperature rise.
As a rule, 4-6 hours is adequate.
This appliance runs constantly
and the freezer compartment drops to
a very low temperature.
If the max. freezing capacity is to be
used, super freezing must be switched
on for 24 hours before the fresh produce
is placed in the freezer compartment.
Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg)
can be frozen without “super freezing”.
Switching on and off

Press “super” button 3. The button is lit
when super freezing is switched on.
The refrigerating machine now operates
constantly, and a low temperature is
obtained in the appliance.
The food is frozen after approx. 24
hours.
As soon as the food is frozen, switch off
the super freezing.
Thawing frozen food
Depending on the type and application,
select one of the following options:
■
at room temperature
■
in the refrigerator
■
in an electric oven, with/without fan
assisted hot-air

of manufacture or use-by date.
