Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate. The temperature in the appliance will rise:[...]

Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer cannot rise unnoticed. An alarm will sound and the alarm indicator light will flash if the temperature becomes too warm. For example, the alarm may sound and the alarm indicator light may flash, – if you freeze a large amount of food at once wit[...]

Freezing fresh food Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. This way the nutritional value of the food, its vitamin content, appearance and taste are not impaired. Food which takes a long time to freeze will lose more water from its cells, which then shrink. During the defrosting process, only some of this water is reabsorbed by the cel[...]

Switching off Super freeze The Super freeze function will switch off automatically after approx. 65 hours. The indicator light will go out and the appliance will run at normal power again. To save energy the Super freeze function can be switched off once a constant temperature of -18 °C or colder has been reached in the freezer section. You should[...]

^ Place the food flat in the bottom of the drawers or on the glass cold plates so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible. ^ Make sure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen. When freezing, make sure that food already frozen does not come into contact with fresh food being frozen a[...]

Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked. Ice cube tray (with release button, depending on model) ^ Press down the release button on the ice cube tray and fill the t[...]

Cool pack The cool pack prevents the temperature in the freezer rising too quickly in the event of a power cut.
