Freezing with Superfrost - Figure 22
•Touch the Superfrost icon briefly so the LED turns on.
The freezer temperature will decrease and the appliance will change to the lowest temperature.
•For small amounts of frozen food, it is normally sufficient to turn on Superfrost six hours before- hand. For the maximum amount (see freezing capacity on the model plate) you will need to turn it on 24 hours before.
•Then place the fresh food inside the freezer.
•The Superfrost function turns off automatically. Depending on the quantity of food placed in the freezer, this will normally be between 30 and maximum of 65 hours.
The freezing process is now complete; the
Superfrost LED will turn off, and the freezer will change back to normal
IMPORTANT
You should not turn on the Superfrost function:
•when placing frozen food in the freezer;
•when freezing up to approximately
Freezing and Storage
•Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reusable plastic, metal or aluminum containers.
•Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into contact with food already frozen. Always keep packages dry in order to avoid them sticking together.
•Always write the date and contents on the pack- age and do not exceed the stated storage time for the food. This prevents spoiling.
•Pack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities right for your household. To ensure the food freezes right through quickly, the following quantities should not be exceeded per package:
-fruit, vegetables: up to
-meat: up to
•Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks as they might burst. Drinks can be cooled down quickly, but take the bottles out of the freezer compartment after an hour at the most.
•Only take out as much food as needed for thaw- ing. Cook food which has been thawed as quick- ly as possible. Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:
-in a microwave oven
-in the refrigerator: the safer way to thaw food because there is less chance of bacteria growth. Use this method for high density food such as roasts or poultry.
