Super freezing
Food should be frozen solid as quickly
as possible in order to retain vitamins,
nutritional value, appearance and flavour.
To prevent an undesirable temperature
rise when placing fresh food in
the freezer compartment, switch on
super freezing several hours beforehand.
As a rule, 4–6 hours is adequate.
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”.
Note
When super freezing is switched on,
increased operating noises may occur.

select one of the following options:
■
at room temperature
■
in the refrigerator
■

assisted hot-air
■
in the microwave

Caution
Do not refreeze food which is beginning
to thaw or which has already thawed. It
can only be refrozen when it has been
used to prepare a ready meal (boiled
or fried).
No longer store the frozen produce
for the max. storage period.
