Freezing, Storage
- 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, 23). This
amount varies according to the model and
climate rating.
Freezing with Superfrost
- Figure 1
• Press the Superfrost button (Fig. 1, 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 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 drawer. If freezing the
maximum 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 automatically.
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.
Information System
- Figure 8
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.
