FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Information System - Figure 13
Use frozen food within the recommended period.
The numbers between the symbols indicate the
storage period in months for different kinds of
frozen foods. Storage times given are guidelines
for food frozen at home. Whether or not the lower
or upper value is applicable depends on the food
quality and how it was processed prior to freezing.
The lower values always apply to food with a high
fat content.

Freezing, Storage - Figure 11
Fresh food should be frozen completely and as
rapidly as possible. Frozen food can also be given
a cold boost. This is provided by the Superfrost fea-
ture and ensures that the nutritional value, appear-
ance and flavor of the food remain intact.
• The maximum amount of food which can be
frozen in 24 hours is
shown on the model
plate (“Freezing
capacity ... kg/24h”),
cq
. This amount var-
ies according to the
model and climate
rating.
Freezing with Superfrost - Figure 12
• Press the Superfrost button
4
briefly so the
LED turns ON. The freezer temperature will
decrease and the appliance will change to the
lowest temperature.
• For small amounts of frozen food, it is normally
sufficient to turn ON Superfrost six hours before
-
hand. For the maximum amount (see freezing
capacity on the model plate) you will need to
turn it ON 24 hours before.
• Then place the fresh food inside the freezer,
preferably in the top drawer. If freezing the maxi-
mum quantity of food, DO NOT use the drawers;
instead, place the wrapped food directly on the
glass shelves. Once the food is frozen, you can
place it into the drawers.
• The Superfrost function turns OFF automati-
cally. Depending on the quantity of food placed
in the freezer, this will normally be between 30
and maximum of 60 hours. The freezing process
is now complete; the Superfrost LED will turn
OFF, and the freezer will change back to normal
energy-saving operation.
IMPORTANT
You should not turn ON the Superfrost function:
• when placing frozen food in the freezer;
• when freezing up to approximately 4-1/2 lbs (2
kg) fresh food daily.
