Fast Freezing; Thawing Frozen Food; Ice Maker - Gaggenau RY 492 Notice D'utilisation

Fast freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible
in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value,
appearance and flavor.
To prevent an undesirable temperature rise when
placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch
on fast freezing several hours beforehand. As a rule,
4–6 hours is adequate. 24 hours are necessary when
using the maximum freezer capacity fully.
After 2 days the temperature set before fast freezing
is automatically restored.
