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.

In addition, frozen food already in storage is given a “cold reserve”. The food stays frozen longer as a result when you defrost the appliance.

You can freeze as many kilograms of fresh food within 24 hrs as is indicated on the type plate under “Freezing capacity … kg/24hrs”. This maximum freezing quantity can vary depending on model and climate class.

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. 1 kg fresh food daily

Freezing with SuperFrost

• Briefly press the SuperFrost button Fig. 3 (4).
  • The SuperFrost symbol Fig. 3 (5) shines.
  • The freezer temperature drops, the appliance operates with the maximum refrigerating capacity

Note

• Pressing the SuperFrost button can cause the compressor  to switch on up to 8 minutes later, thanks to the integrated switch-on delay. This delay increases the service life of the compressor.
  In case of a small amount of food to be frozen:

• wait approx. 6 h.

• Place wrapped produce in the bottom drawers. In case of the maximum amount of food to be frozen (see type plate):

• wait about 24 h.

• Remove bottom drawer and place produce directly in the appliance so that it touches the base or sides.

  • SuperFrost is automatically deactivated after about 65 h.
  • TheSuperFrost button Fig. 3 (5)extinguishes once freezing is completed.
  • The temperature range set for the normal mode shines in the temperature display

• Place produce in the drawer and then push the drawer back in again.

  • The appliance continues to operate in the energy-saving, normal mode

To save energy SuperFrost can switch switched off, even  before the full 65 hours of freezing time has elapsed, by pressing the SuperFrost button Fig. 3 (4) again. Only switch off SuperFrost once the temperature is -18 °C or colder.

Drawers

• To store frozen food directly on the shelves pull the drawer forward and lift it out.

Shelves

Moving shelves

• To remove the shelf: lift up at the front and pull out.
• To put the shelf back: simply push in as far as it will go.

VarioSpace

You can remove the shelves and drawers. This leaves more room for larger food items such as poultry, meat, large game and tall baked goods, which can be frozen whole before further preparation.

• Each drawer can hold max. 25 kg of frozen food.
• The shelves can each be loaded with 35 kg of frozen food.

Maintenance

Manual defrosting

After a long period of operation, a layer of frost or ice can build up inside the appliance.

The layer of frost or ice builds up faster if the appliance is opened often or if the food is warm when placed inside. However, a thick layer of ice will increase the appliance‘s energy consumption. You should therefore defrost the appliance regularly.

Remove ice from inside surface at top of appliance: A layer of ice forms inside at the centre of the top of the device. This ice forms as a result of physical properties.

Regularly remove the ice with a scraper tool. The appliance does not need to be be thawed for that reason.

Thawing process:

For Germany:

• Pull out the plug.
• Cut through the connecting cable.
