Super freezing
Food should be frozen solid as quickly 
as possible in order to retain vitamins, 
nutritional value, appearance and flavour.
Several hours before placing fresh food 
in the freezer compartment, switch on 
super freezing to prevent an unwanted 
temperature rise. 
As a rule, 4-6 hours is adequate.
This appliance runs constantly and the 
freezer compartment drops to a very low 
temperature.
If the max. freezing capacity is to be 
used, super freezing must be switched 
on for 24 hours before the fresh produce 
is placed in the freezer compartment.
You can place smaller quantities of food 
(up to 2 kg) in the top compartment 
without super freezing.
Note
When super freezing is switched on, 
increased operating noises may occur.
