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 "Fast freezing".
Switching on Super freezing
1. Press the "freezer" button until "freezer" is lit on the
freezer compartment display panel.
2. Press "super" button.
If super freezing is switched on, "super" is indicated on
the display panel.
Switching off Super freezing
1. Press the "freezer" button until "freezer" is lit on the
freezer compartment display panel.
2. Press "super" button.
If Super freezing is switched off, the "super" display
goes out on the display panel.
Note
Super freezing automatically switches off after
approx. 2^ days.
