– the room temperature of the installation location
– the type, temperature, and quantity of the food
Recommended temperature setting: -18 °C
The temperature can be adjusted continually. Once the setting
-26 °C is reached, the cycle is begun again at -15 °C.
5.5.5 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.
You can freeze as many kilograms of fresh food within 24 hrs as is indicated on the type plate under “Freezing capacity … kg/24hrs”. This maximum freezing quantity can vary depending on the model and climate class.
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 products 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. 1 kg fresh food daily
