Freezing instructions
Try to deep-freeze food right through as quickly as possible.
This is the only way of retaining its nutritional value, vitamins,
appearance and taste. Quick freezing is achieved by means
of the Superfrost system (fig .
A).
e
You are advised not to place a larger quantity of fresh food
in the freezer than that stated on the type plate as the ap-
pliance's maximum freezing capacity (max.10 kg/24 h) . This
will prevent the temperature of food already stored in the
freezer from rising and maintain its quality.
e
When deep-freezing small quantities of food (up to 1 kg per
day), the Superfrost system need not be switched on.
e
Switch on the Superfrost system at least 6 hours before
inserting fresh foods (normaly sufficient for small quantities,
approx. 24 hours when using the maximum freezing capacity
of 10 kg). The yellow Superfrost lamp will come on.
e
Insert the food ; if necessary distribute the food among
several drawers, so that the output of several chilling plates
can be used at once.
e
After 24 hours, the fresh food should be fully deep-frozen if
the appliance was operating correctly.
e
The Superfrost system can then be switched off by press-
ing the Superfrost button.
The yellow Superfrost lamp will go out. The freezer section
continues to operate normally.
Storing frozen food
e
When loading the freezer with pre-frozen food , all the
drawers can be filled up at once. The Superfrost button need
not be operated.
e
To prevent food from deteriorating, always mark the
contents and the date of storage on all packages and do not
exceed the recommended storage periods.
e
When storing pre-frozen food, always note the storage-
period information given by the producer on the package.
e
If there is insufficient storage room in the freezer drawers,
frozen food can be stored without the drawers, directly on the
chilling plates. However, the bottom drawer must remain in
• the freezer at all times.
To remove a drawer, pull it out fully and lift up at the front
(fig .
B).
Notes on freezing and storage
e
Hot foods or liquids must be allowed to cool to room tem-
perature before placing in the freezer.
e
Pack food in quantities practical for household use. Freez-
ing will take place more quickly and a higher quality will be
ensured after thawing and preparation, if the quantities of
fruit and vegetables do not exceed 1 kg and the quantities of
meat do not exceed 2.5 kg.
e
Only use packing material suitable for frozen-food stor-
age. To prevent other foods from picking up different odours
and flavours and to maintain quality, the material must be
strong, neutral in taste and impervious to air and liquids.
e
Packages should be dry to prevent them from freezing
together.
e
Pre-frozen food should be stored in such a way as to pre-
vent contact with fresh food placed in the freezer for freezing.
e
Always sort the freezer contents according to food types to
avoid leaving the door open for excessive periods, prevent
excessive ice build-up and keep energy consumption down .

e
Only remove as much food from the freezer as is immedia-
tely required.
e
Remember that any increases in the interior temperature
of the freezer, caused by a power failure or other fault, will re-
duce the safe storage period and quality of the stored food.
e
In the event of a power failure or similar fault, keep the
freezer closed in order to delay any inevitable temperature
increases.
