u

In order that the food is rapidly frozen through to the core, do not exceed the following quantities per pack:

- Fruit, vegetables up to 1 kg

- Meat up to 2.5 kg Pack the food in portions in freezer bags, reusable plastic,

u

metal or aluminium containers.

5.8 SuperFrost

With this function you can freeze fresh food quickly through to the core. The appliance operates with maximum refrigeration. The noise of the refrigeration unit may be temporarily louder as a result.

The maximum amount of fresh food which can be frozen in 24 h is indicated on the type plate under “freezing capacity ... kg/ 24h”. This amount varies according to the model and climate rating.

You have to activate SuperFrost in good time, depending on how much fresh food is to be frozen: about 6 hours before placing the food inside in case of small amounts and about 24 hours in advance in case of the maximum amount of food to be frozen.

Wrap produce and spread it out as far as possible. Do not allow produce to be frozen to touch produce that is already frozen to prevent the latter thawing.

You do not have to activate SuperFrost in the following cases:

when placing frozen food in the freezer

-

when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily

-

5.15.2 Producing ice cubes*

The production capacity depends on the freezer temperature. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes can be produced in a specific period.

The ice cubes drop from the IceMaker into the drawer. When a certain filling level has been reached, no further ice cubes are produced. The IceMaker does not fill the drawer right up to the brim.

Distribute the ice cubes evenly in the drawer to increase the capacity.

If large quantities of ice cubes are needed, the complete IceMaker drawer can be exchanged for the adjacent drawer. When the drawer is closed, the IceMaker automatically recommences production.

Once the IceMaker has been switched on for the first time, it may take up to 24 hours until the first ice cubes are produced.

Note

When the appliance is used for the first time and if it has been out of use for a long time, particles may collect in the IceMaker and/or water conduit.

Do not use or consume ice cubes that have been made 24

u

hours after the first ice cubes are made.
