Using 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 Super Cool ON
Super Cool is particularly recommended for faster chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
^Press the Super Cool button, and the indicator light will come on. The appliance will now work at full power to lower the temperature in the refrigerator section.
Switching Super Cool OFF
The Super Cool function automatically switches off after approx. 6 hours. The indicator light turns off, and the appliance continues running at normal power.
To save energy, the Super Cool function can be switched off once the food and/or drinks are sufficiently chilled.
^Press the Super Cool button, and the indicator light will now go out.
The appliance now continues running at normal power.
Freezing fresh food
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible, so that the nutritional value, vitamin content, appearance, and taste are retained.
When food takes a long time to freeze, water leaks out of the cells, which then shrink. Later, when the food is defrosted, only a portion of this water is reabsorbed into the cells. This means that slowly frozen food loses a lot of its moisture. You can recognize this if a large pool of water collects around the food as it thaws.
By contrast, if the food is frozen quickly, the cells have less time to lose moisture, so they shrink less. Also, because a smaller amount of moisture is lost, it is easier for the food to reabsorb it during the defrosting process. This can be recognized by the relatively small pool of water around the food.
