5.6.4 SuperFrost
With this function you can freeze fresh food quickly through to
the core. The appliance operates with maximum refrigeration.
The noise of the refrigeration unit may be temporarily louder as
a result.
In addition, frozen food already in storage is given a "cold
reserve". The food stays frozen longer as a result when you
defrost the appliance.*
The maximum amount of fresh food which can be frozen in 24
h is indicated on the type plate under "freezing capacity ... kg/
24h". This amount varies according to the model and climate
rating.
You have to activate SuperFrost in good time, depending on
how much fresh food is to be frozen: about 6 hours before
placing the food inside in case of small amounts and about 24
hours in advance in case of the maximum amount of food to be
frozen.
You do not have to activate SuperFrost in the following cases:
-
when placing frozen food in the freezer
-
when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily*
