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 tempera
tures are much lower than in normal operation.
Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer
compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an
unwanted temperature rise.
If the freezing capacity according to the rating plate is
to be used, switch on super freezing 24 hours before
the fresh products are placed in the freezer compart
ment.
Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can be frozen
without super freezing.
