Using the freezer efficiently
Freezing food
Placing food in the freezer
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly
as possible. This helps maintain the
nutritional value, vitamin content,
appearance and taste of the food.
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.
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.
^ 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.
Before placing food in the freezer
^ When placing items in the freezer,
make sure the packaging and
^ 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").
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.
This will provide the food already in
the freezer with a protective boost of
cold air.

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).

– cleaners containing soda, ammonia,
thinners, or chlorides
– cleaners containing descaling
agents or lime removers,
– abrasive cleaners,
– stainless steel cleaners,
– dishwasher soap (powder),
– caustic (oven) cleaners,
Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda, acids,
chlorides or chemical solvents.
Non-abrasive cleaning agents are
also unsuitable, as they can cause
matte areas to appear.
– scouring pads, steel wool, hard
brushes,
– metal scrapers,
Only use a mild solution of warm
water and liquid dish soap to clean
this appliance.
– eraser sponges,
– steam cleaning products.

Mounting Accessories
The mounting accessories needed for
installing the appliance into the niche
are included in the packaging. Several
plastic bags are included which are
marked alphabetically.
The bag needed for each step will be
marked with its respective letter.
Two anti-tip brackets are
recommended for each appliance. For
side-by-side installations 4 brackets are
recommended.
Anti-tip brackets
The anti-tip brackets a keep the
appliance safely secured in the
installation niche b and prevent it from
tipping.
^ Position the anti-tip brackets on the
left and right in the installation niche
so that there is no more than 3/8"
(10 mm) of space between the
brackets and the side walls.
^ Mark the drill holes in the anti-tip
brackets on the back wall and on the
ceiling of the installation niche.
^ Set the brackets aside - they will be
needed again later.
Screws are supplied with the
appliance for various
applications/materials.
,Risk of tipping
The installation niche must be
securely attached to the wall behind
it with multiple brackets. This is the
only way the appliance, which is
later secured in the niche, can be
prevented from tipping!
If the anti-tip brackets cannot be
attached securely with the screws
supplied, an alternative anti-tip
device can be used.
Ensure that there are no electrical
wires or plumbing in the area which
the screws could penetrate - risk of
injury and damage.

Installing the appliance
Securing an alternative anti-tip
device
^ Mark the installation height (lower
edge of the beam) on the rear wall of
the niche.
If the anti-tip brackets cannot be
attached securely using a wooden
beam, an alternative anti-tip device can
be used.
^ Select screws according to the
thickness of the wooden beam.
Determine the number of screws
based on the niche width, to ensure
that the beam will be attached
securely.
Ensure that there is no "give" between
the appliance and the anti-tip device.
If possible, always screw the
wooden beam to existing studs.
^ Locate wall studs near the rear wall
of the niche and mark the drill holes
in the beam accordingly.
^ Pre-drill the wooden beam.
^ Attach the wooden beam to the rear
wall of the niche.
Now prepare the water connection
from the appliance to the main
supply line (see "Plumbing").
– The wooden beam must be at least .
3" x 4" [75 mm x 100 mm] thick.
– The length is equal to the width of
the installation niche.
– If the installation niche is deeper than
the appliance, use a thicker wooden
beam or attach two beams.
– The beam must cover the appliance
by at least 2" (50.8 mm).
