Super cool and Super freeze
Super cool
The super cool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator section to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature).
Switching on super cool
Super cool is particularly recommended for faster chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.

The appliance works at full power to lower the temperature in the refrigerator section.
Switching off super cool
The super cool function switches itself off automatically after approx. 6 hours. The indicator light goes out and the appliance continues running at normal power.
To save energy the super cool function can be switched off once food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
^Press the super cool button. The super cool indicator light will go out.
The appliance continues running at normal power.
Freezing fresh food
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. This way the nutritional value of the food, its vitamin content, appearance and taste are not impaired.
Food which takes a long time to freeze will lose more water from its cells which then shrink.
During the defrosting process only some of this water is reabsorbed by the cells. The rest collects around the food. In practice this means that the food loses a large degree of its moisture.
If food is frozen quickly the cells have less time to lose moisture so they shrink less. As there is not so much moisture, it is easier for the food to reabsorb it during the defrosting process. There will be very little water around the defrosted food.
Super freeze is not necessary:
–when putting in frozen food.
–when freezing up to 2 kg fresh food daily.
