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
Press super button to switch on the
functions super freezing > super freezing
and the functions super cooling > super
cooling consecutively. Press super
button again to stop the super function.
Note
When the super function is switched on,
there may be increased operating noise.

Automatic switch-off

You do not need to switch off super
freezing.The previously set temperature
will be automatically restored after
around 2½ days.
