5.6 Freezer compartment

You can store frozen food for several months, make ice cubes and freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment at a temperature of -18^ and lower.

The air temperature in the compartment, measured by thermometer or other instruments, may fluctuate.

5.6.1 Freezing food

CAUTION

Risk of injury due to broken glass! Bottles and cans containing drinks may burst when being frozen. This applies particularly to sparkling drinks.
Do not freeze bottles and cans containing drinks!

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 2.5kg
  Pack the food in portions in freezer bags, reusable plastic, metal or aluminium containers.
• Spread the food over the shelf. Do not allow it to contact and thaw items that are already frozen.

5.6.3 Thawing food

• in the refrigerator compartment
• at room temperature
• in a microwave oven
• in a conventional or fan oven
• Food once thawed should be re-frozen only in exceptional cases.

5.6.4 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.

In addition, frozen food already in storage is given a "cold reserve". The food stays frozen longer as a result when you defrost the appliance.

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.

Freezing with SuperFrost

SuperFrost in the following cases:

• when placing frozen food in the freezer
• when freezing up to about 2kg fresh food a day
  Briefly press the SuperFrost button Fig. 3 (8) once.
  The SuperFrost symbol Fig. 3 (13) shines.
• The freezer temperature drops, the appliance operates with maximum refrigerating performance. For a small amount of food:
  wait about 6 h.

For the maximum amount of food:

wait about 24 h.
- Spread the food over the shelf. Do not allow it to contact and thaw items that are already frozen.
SuperFrost is automatically deactivated. Depending on the quantity placed inside, after 30 h at the earliest, 65 h at the latest.
The SuperFrost symbol Fig. 3 (13) goes out.
The appliance continues to operate in the energy-saving, normal mode.

6 Maintenance

6.1 Defrosting

6.1.1 Defrosting refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically. The water evaporates. Drops of water on the rear wall are functionally conditioned and perfectly normal.

Clean the drain hole at regular intervals to allow the defrost water to drain (see 6.2).

6.1.2 Defrosting freezer compartment

A layer of frost and ice forms in the freezer compartment after the appliance has been in use for a lengthy period of time. This is quite normal. The layer of frost and ice forms more quickly if the door is opened frequently or if the food is warm when placed inside. However, a thick layer of ice will increase the appliance's energy consumption. You should therefore defrost the appliance regularly.

CAUTION

Risk of injury and damage as a result of hot steam!

• Do not use electric heaters or steam cleaners, naked flames or defrosting sprays for defrosting.
  Do not remove ice using sharp instruments.

Switch on SuperFrost one day before defrosting.
Switch off the appliance.
The temperature display goes out.
If the temperature display does not go out, the child-proofing function (see 5.2) is active.
Pull out the plug.

Wrap the frozen food in newspaper or blankets and store in a cool place.
Place a pan with hot, not boiling water on the floor of the compartment.
Defrosting is speeded up.
Leave the compartment and appliance door open during defrosting.
Remove detached pieces of ice.
If necessary, pick up defrost water several times, using a sponge or cloth.
Clean the compartment (see 6.2).

To dismantle the shelves: remove the trims and side parts.
To dismantle the storage rack: remove the protective film from the decorative trims.
- Lift out the boxes and lift the covers for removal.
