5.3 Freezing food
The rating plate indicates the maximum quantity of fresh food

under “Freezing capacity ... kg/24h”.
The maximum load for the top drawer is 15 kg and for the other
drawers 25 kg each.
The shelves can each be loaded with 55 kg of frozen food.
If the door cannot be opened right after having been closed,
due to vacuum, please wait about 2 minutes until pressure
returns to normal.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to broken glass!
Bottles and cans containing drinks may burst when being
frozen. This applies particularly to sparkling drinks.
u
Do not freeze bottles and cans containing drinks!
In order that the food is rapidly frozen through to the core, do
not exceed the following quantities per pack:
- Fruit, vegetables up to 1 kg
- Meat up to 2.5 kg
u
Pack the food in portions in freezer bags, reusable plastic,
metal or aluminium containers.

5.6 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.
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.
Wrap produce and spread it out as far as possible. Do not
allow produce to be frozen to touch produce that is already
frozen to prevent the latter thawing.
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
