into contact with food already frozen. Always keep
packages dry in order to avoid them sticking together.
• Alwayswritethedateandcontentsonthepackage

right for your household. To ensure the food freezes
right through quickly, the following quantities should
notbeexceededperpackage:
- fruit, vegetables: up to 2-1/4 lbs (1 kg);
- meat: up to 5-1/2 lbs (2.5 kg).
• Donotfreezebottlesandcanswhichcontaincarbon-
ated drinks as they might burst. Drinks can be cooled
down quickly, but take the bottles out of the freezer
compartment after an hour at the most.
• Onlytakeoutasmuchfoodasneededforthawing.
Cook food which has been thawed as quickly as pos-
sible. Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:
- in a microwave oven
- in the refrigerator: the safer way to thaw food because
there is less chance of bacteria growth. Use this
method for high density food such as roasts or poul-
tr y.
Freezing
Fresh food should be frozen completely and as rapidly
as possible. This is provided by the SuperFrost feature
and ensures that the nutritional value, appearance and
flavor of the food remains intact.
Freezing with SuperFrost
• TouchtheSuperFrost icon briefly so the LED
turns on.
• Wait24hours.
• Thenplacethefreshfoodinsidethefreezer.
• TheSuperFrostfunctionturnsoffautomatically.
Depending on the quantity of food placed in the freez-
er,thiswillnormallybebetween30andmaximum
65 hours.
The freezing process is now complete; the SuperFrost
LED
will turn off, and the freezer will change back
to normal energy-saving operation.
You should not turn on the SuperFrost function:
• when placing frozen food in the freezer;
• when freezing up to approximately 4-1/2 lbs (2 kg)
fresh food daily.
Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically. The
water that forms on the rear wall drains into a reservoir
at the back of the appliance and evaporates automati-
cally through the compressor heat.
Freezer compartment
The NoFrost system automatically defrosts the freezer
compartment. Any moisture will collect on the evaporator
and freeze. It will periodically defrost and evaporate.
