printed on the packaging of already frozen foods.

Attention!
Under no circumstances should you store liquids in
bottles or cans in the appliance, because, when it
freezes its volume also increases, which would lead
to the bursting of the container! Risk of Injury!
Freezing fresh foods
1. If you want to freeze fresh food yourself, activate
the "Super Freeze" feature around 24 hours be-
forehand, by moving the switch "Super Freeze" 4
into the ON position. The setting of the tempera-
ture controller 5 is for the moment unimportant,
as the "Super Freeze" function, regardless of the
setting of the temperature controller 5, always
provides the maximum cooling performance.
2. Firmly pack the fresh foods into aluminum foil,
plastic wrap or airtight and watertight plastic
bags. You can also use plastic containers with
lids or freezer boxes which are suitable for the
freezing of fresh foods.
Note
Pack the foods in the smallest possible portions.
Thus, the food freezes faster.
You can freeze a maximum of 10.5 kg at one time.
3. Distribute the food to be frozen evenly in the
freezer compartments 8.
Note
Ensure that the food being frozen does not come
into contact with the already frozen foods.
Otherwise they could defrost.
4. Deactivate the "Super Freeze" function after you
have put the food in the appliance: Place the
switch "Super Freeze" 4 at the OFF position
and turn the temperature controller to a central
position between "•" and "• MAX".
Note
Never freeze more than 10.5 kg at one time.
The foods will be completely frozen in 24 hours.
Frozen Foods
Please take note of the following when you buy
already frozen products:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged.
Damaged packaging may have a negative impact
on the quality of frozen food. If the packaging
shows signs of swelling or moist spots, the foods
could have been frozen under adverse conditions
and/or is already thawed.
• When shopping, select your frozen foods as the
very last and transport them only in isolated cool
bags.
• Place your frozen foods into the appliance im-
mediately after you arrive home.
• Should the foods already be thawed, do not
freeze them again, instead, consume them within
24 hours.
