5.2.1 Freezing food
Freezing quantity
The maximum amount of fresh food that you can
freeze within 24 hours is specified on the type plate

To ensure that food quickly freezes through, adhere to the
following quantities per package:
-
Fruit and vegetables up to 1 kg

Meat up to 2.5 kg
Freezing food using SuperFrost
Depending on the quantity to be frozen, you can activate
SuperFrost before freezing in order to achieve lower freezing

freeze is more than approx. 2 kg.
The time at which you activate SuperFrost depends on the

5.2.2 Defrosting food
WARNING

Do not re-freeze thawed food.
u
Use defrosted foodstuff as soon as possible.
You can defrost food in several ways:

-
At room temperature
u
Take out only as much food as necessary.
5.2.3 Freezer tray
You can freeze berries, herbs, vegetables and other small
frozen food in the freezer tray without it all freezing
together. The frozen food is less likely to get squashed and
subsequent portioning is easier.

well spaced out.

6 Saving energy
-
Pay attention to good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation
holes or grids.
-
Always keep the fan air slits clear.
-
Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight, next to an
oven, radiator or similar.
-
Energy consumption depends on the installation condi‐
tions, e.g. the ambient temperature (see 1.4 Appliance
range of use) . A warmer ambient temperature can
increase the energy consumption.
-
Open the appliance for as short a time as possible.
-
The lower the temperature is set the higher the energy
consumption.
-
Keep all food properly packed and covered. This prevents
frost from forming.
-
Inserting warm food: allow to cool down to room temper‐
ature first.
