Super freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly
as possible in order to retain vitamins,
nutritional value, appearance and flavour.
The appliance runs constantly when
super freezing has been switched on.
The freezer compartment temperatures
are much lower than in normal operation.
Switching on super freezing
Depending on the amounts of food to be
frozen, you can use super freezing in
different ways.
Note
When super freezing is switched on,
increased operating noises may occur
and the super display is lit, Fig. "/3.
Automatic super freezing
Smaller amounts of food are frozen solid
extremely quickly if you freeze them as
follows:
in the second frozen food container
■
from below
from the outer right
■
over a large area
■
Automatic super freezing automatically
switches on when warm food items are
placed inside the freezer.
Manual super freezing
Freeze larger quantities of food
preferably in the top compartment.
This is where food freezes particularly
quickly and therefore also gently.
Several hours before placing fresh food
in the freezer compartment, switch on
super freezing to prevent an unwanted
temperature rise.
