Fast freezing
Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible
in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value,
appearance and flavour.
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.
This appliance runs constantly and the freezer
compartment drops to a very low temperature.
If you would like to use the max. freezing capacity,
switch on fast freezing for 24 hours before placing the
fresh produce in the freezer compartment.
You can freeze smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg)
without fast freezing.
Note
When fast freezing is switched on, increased
operating noises may occur.
Switching on fast freezing
1.
Keep pressing the select button until the freezer
compartment climate zone is marked with an
arrow.
2.
Press super button.
If fast freezing is switched on, "SU" and "super" are
indicated on the display panel.
