Turn the control knob to „SUPER”. The freezer will now run continuously,
creating a sufficient reserve of the temperature required.
Turn the control knob to „SUPER” 6-24 hours before placing fresh food in
the freezer, depending on how much food is to be frozen.
Place the food in the freezer and leave the control knob set to „SUPER” for
a further 24 hours.
Return the control knob to a medium setting. The freezer will return to
normal storage temperature. If you forget to return the control knob to a
medium setting, the freezer will not be damaged but energy will be
wasted.
All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry
out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen
goods occurs.
Caution! Do not touch the frozen foods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
Place the packed food products into the freezer. Ensure they come into
contact with the side walls. Unfrozen goods may not come into contact with
already frozen goods, otherwise the frozen goods may start to thaw.
If more products have to be frozen, keep on the fast freeze switch - otherwise
switch the fast freeze function off about 24 hours after inserting the food
products, for smaller quantities earlier.
TIPS:
The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
- freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
- special cans for frozen goods;
- extra-thick aluminium foil
The following are suitable for closing bags and foil: plastic clips, rubber
bands or adhesive tape.
Before closing press out the air from the bags and foil, as air make the
frozen products dry out more easily and wastes space.
Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste-like
goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
