Before placing food in the freezer
^
When freezing more than 4.5 Ibs
(2 kg) of fresh food, turn on the
SuperCool function some time before
placing food in the freezer (see
"Using SuperCool").
This helps food which is already
stored in the freezer to remain frozen.
Placing food in the freezer
The following maximum loading
weights must not be exceeded:
– Freezer drawer = 55 lbs (25 kg)
– Glass plate = 77 lbs (35 kg)
Unfrozen food should not touch
frozen food as this will cause frozen
food to begin to thaw.
^
When placing items in the freezer,
ensure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
from sticking together when frozen.
– Freezing small amounts of food
Place the food in the upper freezer
drawers.
^
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the freezer drawer so that it freezes
through to the core as quickly as
possible.
When removing the upper freezer
drawers, please note:
The bottom drawer must always
remain in the appliance.
When placing food in the drawers,
make sure that you do not block the
ventilation cross-sections in the
back wall of the appliance. They are
important for trouble-free operation
of the appliance and normal energy
consumption.
– Freezing the maximum amount
(see data plate)

Place the food flat on the upper glass
cold plates so that it freezes through

as turkey or game, you can remove the
glass shelves between the freezer
drawers.
