of food.

■

Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes 

and pastries:
up to 6 months

■

Cheese, poultry and meat:

Super freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly 

as possible in order to retain vitamins, 

nutritional value, appearance and flavour.
The appliance runs constantly when 

super freezing has been switched on. 

The freezer compartment temperatures 

are much lower than in normal operation.
Several hours before placing fresh food 

in the freezer compartment, switch on 

super freezing to prevent an unwanted 

temperature rise.
If the freezing capacity according to the 

rating plate is to be used, switch on 

super freezing 24 hours before the fresh 

products are placed in the freezer 

compartment.
Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) 

can be frozen without “super freezing”.

Note

When super freezing is switched on, 

increased operating noises may occur.
