Description of functions
Fast cooling/fast freezing
The
fast cooling and
fast freezing functions allow a larger quantity of food, e.g.
after a shopping trip or freezing pre-cooked meals, to be cooled more quickly. The tem-
perature of the unfrozen compartment for fast cooling and of the freezer compartment for
fast freezing are lowered to the coldest value for 24 hours. During fast cooling/freezing,
the appliance operates at higher power, which increases the noise level above the nor-
mal operating noise level. The functions switch off automatically. To prevent food that is
already being stored from warming up: activate fast cooling/freezing several hours be-
forehand (e.g. before going shopping).
To achieve maximum freezing capacity, the following must be observed: To freeze the
maximum quantity (see the identification plate) use the space above the rack and activ-
ate fast freezing immediately before storing the fresh food. Transfer already frozen food
to the bottom of the freezer compartment. Distribute the food to be frozen evenly in the
space above the rack. Do not place any more food for freezing in the freezer compart-
ment for the next 24 hours during the freezing process.
Fast freezing does not need to be activated if storing food that is already frozen or
freezing up to about 1 kg of fresh food a day.
Sabbath mode
In Sabbath mode, the lighting and displays are switched off for 28 hours.
