Freezing procedure
26
Maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
introduced into the appliance at a time is indicated
on the label with basic information on the appliance.
If this quantity is exceeded, freezing quality will
deteriorate, as will the quality of the already frozen
food.
• 24 hours before freezing fresh food, activate the super freeze
(freezer boost) function:
- control unit I: rotate the dial A to position SF/SUPER,
- control units II and III: Press the E key (signal light F will
light up),
- control unit IV: rotate the dial A to position SF/
- control unit V with and without fan: rotate the dial A to a
position between min and max with the fan switched off.
After 24 hours, place the fresh food into the freezer, as follows:
- NO FROST appliances: place the food into the middle
section of the freezer compartment;
- standard appliances: place the food into the upper section
of the freezer compartment.
Fresh food should not be in contact with the packages of already
frozen food!
In NO FROST freezers, there should be a suffi cient clearance
just under the upper wall in order to allow air circulation.
Therefore, do not place any food higher than the indicated level
(see fi gure).
• When freezing minor quantities of food (1-2 kg) the super
freeze setting is not required
• After 24 hours, the food can be relocated to other freezer
compartment areas or drawers and the freezing process may
be repeated with new food if required.
• When the freezing process is complete, rotate the dial A back
to the desired setting (control units I, IV and V).
• If you wish to make use of the entire freezer compartment
volume, you may also remove the meddle drawer
