Freezing
Fresh food should be frozen
to the core as rapidly as pos-
sible. This is provided by the
SuperFrost facility.
The maximum amount of food
in kg which can be frozen in
24 hours is shown on the type
plate (Freezing capacity).
Note
The upper stacking limit is the top
level of the baskets!
If the chest is loaded up to a maximum of 300 mm below
the top level of the basket, the appliance can be set
to the 1 setting. This setting reduces the amount of
power consumed by your chest freezer even further.
The temperature should in any case be set so that if you place
a thermometer on the top of the frozen food it reads at least
-18°C.

Notes on freezing
• Always store identical food items together.
• Pack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities appropriate
to your household. To ensure that the food freezes right through,
the following quantities should not be exceeded per pack age:
fruit, vegetables: up to 1 kg, meat: up to 2.5 kg.
• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reuseable plastic,
metal or aluminium containers.
• Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into contact
with food already frozen. Always keep packs dry in order to avoid
them sticking together.
• Always write the date and contents on the pack and do not exceed
the stated storage time for the food.
• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks
as they might burst.
• Only take out as much food as is immediately required for thawing.
Use food which has been thawed in prepared meals as quickly
as possible.
Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:
– in a fan oven
– in a microwave oven
– at room temperature
– in the refrigerator
Freezing with Superfrost
• Press the Superfrost button. The Superfrost lamp
comes on.
• Wait 24 hours.
• Place the fresh food in the freezer. In order to achieve fast freez-
ing, food should be in contact with the interior walls when it is
placed in the freezer.
• The Superfrost facility automatically switches the fast freezing
procedure off after 72 hours.
Important
When you press the Superfrost button, the compressor might
not switch on for up to 8 minutes. This is due to the integrated
rise-delay switch which is designed to increase the life span of
the refrigeration unit.
You should not switch on the Superfrost function:
- when placing frozen food in the freezer;
- when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily.
