A delight in freshness
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
SuperFrost
- Figure 1
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
feature and ensures that the nutritional value,
appearance 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
), (Fig. 1, 30).
This amount varies according to the model and
climate rating.
Freezing with SuperFrost
- Figure 1
Press the SuperFrost Button (Fig. 1, 4) briefly so
it lights up. 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 beforehand. 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 drawers.
If freezing the maximum quantity of food, do not
use the drawers. Place the wrapped food directly
on the shelves. Once the food is frozen, load it into
the drawers.
The SuperFrost function turns OFF
automatically. Depending on the quantity of
food placed in the freezer, this will normally be
between 30 hours and a maximum of 65 hours.
The freezing process is now complete, the
SuperFrost LED will go out and the freezer will
switch back to normal energy-saving operation.
Note
You do not have to 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.
Freezing and Storage
Do Not Freeze:
Lettuce, radishes, grapes, whole apples, pears and
fatty meat.
Food to Freeze:
Meat, game, poultry, fresh fish, vegetables, fruit,
dairy products, bread, baked goods, pre-cooked
meals.
Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or
reusable plastic, metal or aluminum containers.
Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen
to come into contact with food already frozen.
Always keep packages dry in order to avoid
them sticking together.
Always write the date and contents on the
package and do not exceed the stated storage
time for the food. This prevents spoiling.
Pack food which you are freezing yourself in
quantities right for your household. To ensure
the food freezes completely and quickly, the
following quantities should not be exceeded per
package:
- fruit, vegetables: up to 2-1/4 lbs (1 kg);
- meat: up to 5-1/2 lbs (2.5 kg).
Blanch vegetables after washing and cutting
them. (Add to boiling water for 2-3 minutes,
remove and quickly cool down in cold water. If
you blanch with a steamer or microwave oven,
please follow the operating instructions.)
Do not salt or season fresh food or blanched
vegetables before freezing. Only lightly salt and
season other food. Some spices can alter their
flavor intensity.
Do not freeze bottles and cans as they might
burst. Drinks can be cooled down quickly,
but take the bottles or cans out of the freezer
compartment after an hour at the most.
