door.
The alarm system is always
operational, it does not need to be

an alarm sounds and the alarm
indicator turns red and flashes.
The temperature display shows the
highest temperature reached during the
alarm.
The alarm will sound and the display

							Freezing food
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly
as possible. This helps maintain the
nutritional value, vitamin content,
appearance and taste of the food.
Never refreeze partially or fully
defrosted food. Consume defrosted
food as soon as possible, it will lose its
nutritional value and spoil if left for too
long. Do not refreeze defrosted food
unless it has been cooked.
Before placing food in the freezer
^When you are planning to freeze
large amounts of food (more than
4 ½ lbs [2 kg]), switch on the
SuperCool function ahead of time
(see SuperCool).
This will provide the food already in
the freezer with a protective boost of
cold air.Placing food in the freezer
Food to be frozen can be placed
anywhere in the freezer.
The freezer baskets can hold a
maximum of 35 lbs (16 kg) of frozen
food.
^Spread the food to be frozen across
the bottom of the freezer basket or
across the shelves, so that it will
freeze through to the core as quickly
as possible.
^When placing items in the freezer,
make sure the packaging and
containers are dry, to keep them from
sticking together when frozen.
When freezing, try not to let frozen
food come into contact with fresh
food, this could cause the frozen
food to defrost.

							Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:
–in a microwave oven,
–at room temperature,
–in the refrigerator (the cold given off
by the frozen food helps to keep the
other food cold),
–in a steam oven.
PoultryIt is especially important to
observe proper hygiene when
defrosting poultry. Never save the liquid
from defrosted poultry. Drain it away
and promptly wash the container, the
sink and your hands. Danger of
salmonella poisoning.
Fruitshould be defrosted at room
temperature in its packaging, or in a
covered bowl.
Most vegetablescan be cooked while
still frozen. Simply place directly into
boiling water or hot oil.
Cooling drinks quickly
To cool drinks quickly, switch on the
SuperCool function. See SuperCool for
more information.
Do not leave bottles in the freezer for
more than1 hour, closed containers
could burst.

							Freezing tips
–The following are examples of foods
suitablefor freezing:
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,
vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit,
pastry/dough, leftovers, and a range
of pre-cooked meals.
–The following examples of foodsnot
suitablefor freezing:
Lettuce, radishes, sour cream,
mayonnaise, eggs in their shells,
onions, whole raw apples and pears.
–To retain color, taste and vitamin C,
vegetables should be trimmed,
washed, and blanched.
To blanch: bring a large saucepan of
water to a boil, then submerge the
vegetables in rapidly boiling water
for 2-3 minutes, depending on type.
Remove, and plunge into ice-cold
water to cool quickly. Drain and pack
for freezing.
– Lean meat freezes better than fatty
meat, and can be stored for
considerably longer.
–
To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or
rolled meats from freezing together in
solid blocks when packed, separate
with a sheet of plastic freezer wrap.
–
Do not season fresh foods or
blanched vegetables before
freezing. Cooked food can be lightly
seasoned before freezing, but care
should be taken as the taste of some
spices alters when frozen.–Do not place hot foods or drinks in
the freezer. This causes already
frozen food to thaw, and increases
the energy consumption
considerably. Allow hot foods and
drinks to cool down before placing
them in the freezer.
Packing tips
^Unsuitable packing material
- wrapping paper
- greaseproof paper
- cellophane
- garbage bags
- plastic shopping bags
Suitable packing material
- plastic freezer bags/wrap
- aluminum foil
- freezer containers
^To help prevent freezer burn, expel
as much air as possible from
bags, etc., before sealing them.
^Close the packaging tightly with
- plastic clips
- twist ties
- rubber bands
^
Mark the package to indicate the
contents and the date of freezing.

							When the SuperCool function is
activated, the appliance is cooled as
cold as possible (to a factory-preset
temperature).
SuperCool
The SuperCool function is ideal for
freezing large quantities of unfrozen
food. Ideally the function should be
switched on4-6hours before the food
is placed in the freezer.
If the max. freezing capacity is used,
24 hoursare recommended.
This helps food to freeze quickly and
retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavor and
appearance.
Switching on SuperCool
^Touch the SuperCool sensor so that
it turns yellow.
The temperature now begins to fall, with
maximum cooling performance.
The new temperature setting appears in
the display -22°F (-30°C).Switching off SuperCool
The SuperCool function automatically
switches off after approx. 52 hours. The
sensor button turns white, and the
appliance continues running at normal
power.
To save energy, you can switch off the
SuperCool function once the food is
sufficiently chilled.
^Touch the SuperCool sensor so that it
turns white.
The temperature display returns to the
original temperature setting.
The appliance now continues running
at normal power.
