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.
Automatic super freezing
Smaller amounts of food are frozen solid
extremely quickly if you freeze them as
follows:
■ In the bottom frozen food container
■ On the left
Automatic super freezing automatically
switches on when warm food items are
placed inside the freezer.
Manual super freezing
Fig. 4
Preferably freeze larger quantities of food
in the bottom compartment. This is
where food freezes particularly quickly
and the process is therefore particularly
gentle to the food.
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
compartment.
