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.
Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg)
can be frozen without "super freezing".
Note
When super freezing is switched on,
increased operating noises may occur.
Switching on and off

1. Select the freezer section using the °C
button.
2. Press the super button until the super
freezing display lights up.
You do not need to switch off super
freezing. After approx. 2½ days, the
previously set temperature is
automatically restored.
