FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Freezing, Storage - Figure 1
Fresh food should be frozen completely and as rapidly as possible. Frozen food can also be given a cold boost. This is provided by the Superfrost feature and ensures that the nutritional value, appearance and flavor of the food remain intact.
•The maximum amount of food which can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the model plate (“Freezing capacity ... kg/24h”), (Fig. 1, 23). This amount varies according to the model and climate rating.
Freezing with Superfrost - Figure 1
•Press the Superfrost button (Fig. 1, 4) 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 beforehand. 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, preferably in the top drawer. If freezing the maximum quantity of food, DO NOT use the drawers; instead, place the wrapped food directly on the glass shelves. Once the food is frozen, you can place it into the drawers.
•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 60 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 4-1/2 lbs (2 kg) fresh food daily.
Information System - Figure 8
Use frozen food within the recommended period. The numbers between the symbols indicate the storage period in months for different kinds of frozen foods. Storage times given are guidelines for food frozen at home. Whether or not the lower or upper value is applicable depends on the food quality and how it was processed prior to freezing. The lower values always apply to food with a high fat content.
