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").  
^ 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.  
This will provide the food already in  
the freezer with a protective boost of  
cold air.  
^ 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  
unfrozen food, this could cause the  
frozen food to defrost.

Defrosting  
Cooling drinks quickly  
Frozen food can be defrosted in  
different ways:  
To cool drinks quickly, switch on the  
SuperCool function, see "SuperCool" for  
more information.  
– in a microwave oven,  
– at room temperature,  
Do not leave bottles in the freezer for  
more than 1 hour, closed containers  
could burst.  
– in the refrigerator (the cold given off  
by the frozen food helps to keep the  
other food cold),  
– in a steam oven.  
Poultry It 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.  
Fruit should be defrosted at room  
temperature in its packaging, or in a  
covered bowl.  
Most vegetables can be cooked while  
still frozen. Simply place directly into  
boiling water or hot oil.

Using the freezer efficiently  
Freezing tips  
– Do not place hot foods or drinks in  
the freezer. This causes already  
frozen food to thaw, and increases  
the energy consumption  
– The following are examples of foods  
suitable for freezing:  
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,  
vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit,  
pastry/dough, leftovers, and a range  
of pre-cooked meals.  
considerably. Allow hot foods and  
drinks to cool down before placing  
them in the freezer.  
– The following examples of foods not  
suitable for freezing:  
Packing tips  
^ Unsuitable packing material  
- wrapping paper  
Lettuce, radishes, sour cream,  
mayonnaise, eggs in their shells,  
onions, whole raw apples and pears.  
- greaseproof paper  
- cellophane  
– To retain color, taste and vitamin C,  
vegetables should be trimmed,  
washed, and blanched.  
- garbage bags  
- plastic shopping bags  
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.  
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.  
– Lean meat freezes better than fatty  
meat, and can be stored for  
considerably longer.  
^ Close the packaging tightly with  
- plastic clips  
- twist ties  
– To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or  
rolled meats from freezing together in  
solid blocks when packed, separate  
with a sheet of plastic freezer wrap.  
- rubber bands  
^ Mark the package to indicate the  
contents and the date of freezing.  
– 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.

SuperCool  
When the SuperCool function is  
activated, the appliance is cooled as  
cold as possible (to a factory-preset  
temperature).  
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.  
SuperCool  
The SuperCool function is ideal for  
freezing large quantities of unfrozen  
food. Ideally the function should be  
switched on 4 - 6 hours before the food  
is placed in the freezer.  
To save energy, you can switch off the  
SuperCool function once the food is  
sufficiently chilled.  
If the max. freezing capacity is used,  
24 hours are recommended.  
This helps food to freeze quickly and  
retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavor and  
appearance.  
^ Touch the SuperCool sensor so that it  
turns white.  
The temperature display returns to the  
original temperature setting.  
Switching on SuperCool  
The appliance now continues running  
at normal power.  
^ 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).

pressure and hardness.  
Turning off the ice cube maker  
The water supply line must be shut  
off several hours before the  
appliance or ice cube maker is  
switched off.  
The production volume of the ice  
depends on the temperature in the

Automatic defrost  
The freezer defrosts automatically.  
The moisture generated in the  
appliance collects in the evaporator. It  
is automatically defrosted and  
dissipated by the condenser  
periodically.  
This automatic defrosting system  
enables the freezer to remain  
permanently ice-free, while ensuring  
that the food stored in the freezer stays  
frozen.
