5.5.4 SuperFrost
With this function you can freeze fresh food quickly through to the core. The appliance operates with maximum refrigeration. The noise of the refrigeration unit may be temporarily louder as a result.
In addition, frozen food already in storage is given a “cold reserve”. The food stays frozen longer as a result when you defrost the appliance.*
The maximum amount of fresh food which can be frozen in 24 h is indicated on the type plate under “freezing capacity ... kg/ 24h”. This amount varies according to the model and climate rating.
You have to activate SuperFrost in good time, depending on how much fresh food is to be frozen: about 6 hours before placing the food inside in case of small amounts and about 24 hours in advance in case of the maximum amount of food to be frozen.
Wrap produce and spread it out as far as possible. Do not allow produce to be frozen to touch produce that is already frozen to prevent the latter thawing.
You do not have to activate SuperFrost in the following cases:
-when placing frozen food in the freezer
-when freezing up to approx. 1 kg fresh food daily
