Liebherr Comprehensive Guide to SuperFrost Freezing and Food Storage

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

SuperFrost - 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, 30). This amount varies according to the model and climate rating.

Freezing with SuperFrost - Figure 1

Press the SuperFrost Button (Fig. 1, 4) briefly so it lights up. 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 drawers.

If freezing the maximum quantity of food, do not use the drawers. Place the wrapped food directly on the shelves. Once the food is frozen, load 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 hours and a maximum of 65 hours. The freezing process is now complete, the SuperFrost LED will go out and the freezer will switch back to normal energy-saving operation.

Note

You do not have to 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.

Freezing and Storage

Do Not Freeze:

Lettuce, radishes, grapes, whole apples, pears and fatty meat.

Food to Freeze:

Meat, game, poultry, fresh fish, vegetables, fruit, dairy products, bread, baked goods, pre-cooked meals.

●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 package 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 completely and quickly, the following quantities should not be exceeded per package:

-fruit, vegetables: up to 2-1/4 lbs (1 kg);

-meat: up to 5-1/2 lbs (2.5 kg).

●Blanch vegetables after washing and cutting them. (Add to boiling water for 2-3 minutes, remove and quickly cool down in cold water. If you blanch with a steamer or microwave oven, please follow the operating instructions.)

●Do not salt or season fresh food or blanched vegetables before freezing. Only lightly salt and season other food. Some spices can alter their flavor intensity.

●Do not freeze bottles and cans as they might burst. Drinks can be cooled down quickly, but take the bottles or cans out of the freezer compartment after an hour at the most.
