SuperCool and SuperFreeze
SuperCool
The SuperCool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature), and is particularly recommended for rapid chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
Switching on SuperCool
^Press the SuperCool button
The appliance works at full power to lower the temperature in the refrigerator section.
SUPER will show in the temperature display on the door.
Switching off SuperCool
The SuperCool function will automatically switch off after approx. 6 hours. The indicator light will go out, and the appliance will continue running at normal power.
To save energy, the SuperCool function can be switched off once food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
^Press the SuperCool button. The SuperCool indicator light will go out, and the appliance will continue to operate at normal power.
Freezing fresh food
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. This helps maintain the nutritional value, vitamin content, appearance and taste of the food.
When food takes too long to freeze, it loses more water from its cells, which then shrink.
Later, when the food is defrosted, only some of this water is reabsorbed by the cells; the rest pools around the food.
In other words, the food can lose a considerable degree of moisture.
By contrast, when food is frozen quickly, the cells have less time to lose moisture, so they shrink less. Because there is not so much moisture loss, it is easier for the food to reabsorb the water during the defrosting process, and there is far less pooling around the defrosted food.
