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”.

Note
When super freezing is switched on,

increased operating noises may occur.
