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.
If the max. freezing capacity is to be
used, super freezing must be switched
on for 6 hours before the fresh produce
is placed in the freezer compartment.
Smaller quantities of food can be frozen
without super freezing.
Note
During super freezing the refrigerator
compartment becomes a little colder.
