Freezing
Fresh food should be frozen to the core as rapidly as possible.
Frozen food can also be given a cold boost. This is provided by
the "Superfrost" facility.
The maximum amount of food wich can
be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the
type plate ("Freezing capacity ...kg/24
hours"). This amount varies according
to the model and climate rating.
Notes on freezing
• Always store identical food items together.
• Pack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities appropriate
to your household. To ensure that the food freezes right through,
the following quantities should not be exeeded per pack age: fruit,
vegetables: up to 1 kg, meat: up to 2,5 kg.
• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reuseable plastic,
metal or aluminium containers.
• Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into contact
with food already frozen. Always keep packs dry in order to avoid
them sticking together.
• Always write the date and contents on the pack and do not exeed
the stated storage time for the food.
• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks
as they might burst.
• Only take out as much food as is immediately required for thawing.
Use food which has been thawed in prepared meals as quickly
as possible.
Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:
– in a fan oven
– in a microwave oven
– at room temperature
– in the refrigerator: the cold given off by the frozen food is used for
cooling.

Freezing with Superfrost
Press the Superfrost button briefly so that the LED lights
up.
• For small amounts of frozen food, it is normally sufficient
to switch on Superfrost 6 hours beforehand. For the maximum
amount (see freezing capacity on the type plate) you will need to
switch it on 24 hours beforehand.
• Then place the fresh food inside the freezer.
Note: The bottom two drawers are not suitable for freezing fresh
food. Only pre-frozen food can be stored there.
- The Superfrost function switches off automatically. Depending
on the quantity of food placed in the freezer, this will normally be
between 30 and max. 65 hours.
You should not switch on the Superfrost func tion:
- when placing frozen food in the freezer;
- when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily.
Audible warning signal
Audible door alarm:
This sounds when the door has been left open for longer
than about 60 seconds. Press the audible warning on/off
button to cancel the alarm. The alarm switches back to
standby when the door is shut.
Audible/visual temperature alarm:
It sounds when it is not cold enough in the freezer compartment.
The temperature display will also flash;
The audible warning device is switched off by pressing the ALARM
button. The temperature display will continue to flash until the cause
of the alarm has been rectified.
This can be caused by:
• the freezer door being left open for a long time, allowing warm
ambient air to enter;
• a long power failure;
• a fault in the appliance.
In each case, make sure food has not defrosted or perished.
Power failure "frost-control" display
If nA appears in the display, this means that the
freezer temperature has risen too high during the
last few hours or days due to a power failure.
If you press the ALARM button whilst the display
is reading nA, the highest temperature registered
during the power failure will be displayed. Check
the quality of the food and its suitability for consumption in case it
has become too warm or even defrosted.
The highest temperature will appear for appox. 1 minute. After that,
the actual temperature in the freezer will re-appear. The display
can be switched off by repeatedly pressing the ALARM button.
