Freezing instructions
Try to deep-freeze food right through as quickly as possible.
This is the onlyway of retaining its nutritional value, vitamins,
appearance and taste. Quick freezing is achieved by means
of the Superfrost system (fig. A).
e You are advised notto place a largerquantityof fresh food
in
the freezer than that stated on the type plate as the ap-
pliance's maximum freezing capacity (max.
10
kg/24
h)
.This
will prevent the temperature of food already stored
in
the
freezer from rising and maintain its quality.
e When deep-freezing small quantitiesoffood (up to 1kg per
day), the Superfrost system need not be switched on.
e Switch on the Superfrost system at least 6 hours before
inserting fresh foods (normaly sufficient for small quantities,
appro
x.
24 hourswhen using the maximum freezing capacity
of
10
kg). The yellow Superfrost lamp will come on.
e Insert the food;
if
necessary distribute the food among
several drawers, so that the output of several chilling plates
can be used at once.
e After 24 hours, the fresh food should be fully deep-frozen
if
the appliance was operating correctly.
e The Superfrost system can then be switched off by press-
ing the Superfrost button.
The yellow Superfrost lamp will
go
out. The freezer section
continues to operate normally.
Storing frozen food
e When loading the freezer with pre-frozen food, all the
drawers can be filled up at once. The Superfrost button need
not be operated.
e To prevent food from deteriorating, always mark the
contents and the date of storage
on
all packages and do not
exceed the recommended storage periods.
e When storing pre-frozen food, always note the storage-
period information given by the producer
on
the package.
e
If
there is insufficient storage room
in
the freezer drawers,
frozen food can be stored withoutthe drawers, directlyon the
chilling plates. However, the bottom drawer must remain
in
• the freezer at all times.
To
remove a drawer, pull it
out
fully and lift up
at
the
front
(fig. B).
Notes
on
freezing and storage
e Hot foods or liquids must be allowed to cool to room tem-
perature before placing
in
the freezer.
e Packfood
in
quantities practical for household use. Freez-
ing will take place more quickly and a higher quality will be
ensured after thawing and preparation, if the quantities of
fruit and vegetables do not exceed 1kg and the quantities of
meat do not exceed 2.5
kg.
e Only use packing material suitable for frozen-food stor-
age.
To
prevent other foods from picking up different odours
and flavours and to maintain quality, the material must be
strong, neutral
in
taste and impervious to air and liquids.
e Packages should be dry to prevent them from freezing
together.
e Pre-frozen food should be stored
in
such a way as to pre-
vent contact with fresh food placed
in
the freezer for freezing.
e Always sortthe freezer contents according to food typesto
avoid leaving the
door
open for excessive periods, prevent
excessive ice build-up and keep energyconsumption down.

e Only remove
as
much food from the freezer as
is
immedia-
tely required.
e Remember that any increases
in
the interior temperature
of the freezer, caused by a power failure or other fault,will re-
duce the safe storage period and quality of the stored food.
e
In
the event of a power failure or similar fault, keep the
freezer closed
in
order to delay any inevitable temperature
increases.
