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.
You can place smaller quantities of food
(up to 2 kg) in the top compartment
without super freezing.
Note
When super freezing is switched on,
increased operating noises may occur.
