After that, the temperature setting automatically reverts to +4 °C. Switch on fast cooling, for example ■ before putting a large amount of food in the fridge compartment. ■ to cool drinks quickly. Note When fast cooling is switched on, the appliance may make more noise. Switching on Press the "fridge/super" button repeatedly until the fridge compartment display panel shows "super". Switching off Press the "fridge/super" button. Note The display panel no longer shows "super". The temperature setting automatically reverts to +4 °C.en

Fast freezing function Food should be frozen thoroughly as quickly as possible. This ensures that vitamins, nutritional values, the look and the taste of the food is retained. Switch on fast freezing a few hours before placing fresh food in the freezer in order to prevent a drop in temperature. In general, 4 - 6 hours is sufficient. When the function is switched on, the appliance operates continuously. As a result, a very cold temperature in the freezer compartment is achieved. Fast freezing automatically switches off after about 48 hours. If the maximum freezing capacity is to be used, fast freezing should be switched on 24 hours before placing the fresh food in the freezer. Small quantities of food for freezing (up to 2 kg) can be frozen without using the fast freezing function. Note When fast freezing is switched on, the appliance may make more noise. Switching on Press the "freezer/super" button repeatedly until the freezer compartment display panel shows "super". Switching off Press the "freezer/super" button. Note The display panel no longer shows "super". The temperature automatically switches back to the temperature set before the "Fast freezing" function was activated.

The relevant display panel shows the highest temperature and "alarm". Fridge compartment If the temperature in the fridge compartment has become too high, before eating any food that has got warm, make sure you heat it through properly. In in doubt, do not use raw food.en

Freezer compartment Do not refreeze defrosted food. It can only be refrozen after it has been made into a ready-to-eat meal (cooked or roasted). Do not then leave the food in the freezer for the maximum storage period. Without any risk to the frozen food, the alarm may be triggered: ■ when the appliance is first used. ■ when putting large quantities of fresh food in the freezer. ■ if the freezer compartment door is left open for too long. Switching off the alarm Press the "alarm off" button. Note As soon as the set temperature is reached again, the display stops showing "alarm". Energy-saving mode 20 seconds after the doors are closed or the last button is pressed, the display panel switches to energy- saving mode. The display panel switches off and leaves only the words "freezer" and "fridge" dimly illuminated. As soon as a door is opened or a button pressed, the display panel switches on and returns to the normal brightness. Usable capacity You will find the details of the usable capacity on the rating plate inside the appliance. Using the entire freezing capacity To accommodate the maximum quantity of frozen food, you can remove all of the fittings from inside the appliance. You can then stack the food directly on the shelves and the bottom of the freezer compartment. How to remove and refit the fittings is described in the section headed Fittings. Fridge compartment The fridge compartment is the perfect place for keeping ready meals, bread and pastries, jams and preserves, condensed milk and hard cheeses. When placing food in the fridge, follow these guidelines: ■ Keep fresh, untouched food in the fridge. In that way it will keep longer and stay fresher. ■ In the case of ready-made products and packaged foods and liquids, pay attention to the manufacturer's specified best-before or use-by date. ■ In order to maintain flavour, colour and freshness, keep food well packed or covered over. That also prevents flavours from mixing and the plastic parts from becoming discoloured in the fridge compartment. ■ Allow warm food and beverages to cool before putting them into the appliance. Note Keep food from coming into contact with the rear panel. Otherwise, the air circulation will be impaired. Food or packaging could also become frozen to the rear panel. Pay attention to the temperature zones in the fridge compartment The air circulation produces different temperature zones in the fridge compartment: ■ The coldest zones are close to the rear panel. ■ The warmest zone is at the very top of the door. Note Keep items such as hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. That will allow the cheese to continue developing its flavour and the butter will remain spreadable. Freezer compartment Use the freezer compartment for the following: ■ Storing deep frozen food. ■ To make ice cubes. ■ To freeze food. Note Make sure that the freezer compartment door is always closed. When the door is open, the frozen foods defrost and the freezer compartment ices up heavily. In addition: Energy is wasted due to the power consumption. Note The 2-star door pocket can be used to store ice and food at -12 °C for short periods. The rest of the freezer compartment is 4-star rated.en

Max. freezing capacity You will find information on the maximum freezing capacity in 24 hours on the rating plate. Conditions for use of max. freezing capacity ■ Switch on the fast freezing function before placing the food in the freezer (see section headed Fast freezing). ■ Remove the freezer compartment fittings. ■ Stack the food directly on the shelves and the bottom of the freezer compartment. Note Do not cover over the ventilation slots in the rear panel with the food you are freezing. ■ Preferably, large quantities of food for freezing should be placed in the top compartment. There it will freeze quickly and, therefore, without adversely affecting the food quality. Freezing and storing Purchasing frozen foods ■ Packaging must not be damaged. ■ Observe the best before date. ■ The temperature in the commercial chest freezer must be -18 °C or colder. ■ As far as possible, frozen food must be transported in an insulated container and quickly placed in the freezer compartment. When arranging the food, note the following: ■ Preferably, large quantities of food for freezing should be placed in the top compartment. There it will freeze quickly and, therefore, without adversely affecting the food quality. ■ Spread the items out well in the compartments/trays. Note Food that is already frozen must not come into contact with the food that is to be freshly frozen. If necessary, move already frozen items to other freezer trays. Storing frozen food Push the freezer trays in as far as they will go so as to ensure perfect air circulation. Freezing fresh food Only use fresh, undamaged food for freezing. In order to retain the nutritional value, aroma and colour of the food as much as possible, blanch vegetables before they are frozen. Blanching is not required for aubergines, peppers, courgettes and asparagus. You can find literature about freezing and blanching in bookshops. Note Do not allow food that is to be frozen to sit right next to food that has already been frozen. ■ The following are suitable for freezing: Baked goods, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without their shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and curd cheese, prepared dishes and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, baked casseroles and sweet foods. ■ The following are not suitable for freezing: types of vegetable that are usually eaten raw, such as lettuces or radishes, eggs in their shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, curds, soured cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise. Packing frozen food Pack food so that it is airtight to prevent it from losing its flavour or drying out.

1. Store food in its packaging.

2. Press out any air.

3. Close the packaging tightly.

4. Label packaging with its contents and date of

freezing. The following are suitable as packaging: Plastic film, polyethylene hose film, aluminium foil, freezer bags. You will find these products at your specialist dealer. The following are not suitable as packaging: Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, rubbish bags and used shopping bags. The following are suitable for sealing packaging: Rubber bands, plastic clips, pack-twines, cold-resistant scotch tape, or similar. Polyethylene bags and hose film can be fused closed using a bag sealer. Storage life of frozen foods The storage life depends on the type of food. At a temperature of -18 °C: ■ Fish, sausages, prepared dishes, baked goods: Up to 6 months. ■ Cheese, poultry, meat: Up to 8 months. ■ Vegetables, fruit: Up to 12 months.en

Defrosting frozen food You can choose between the following options, depending on the type of food and its intended use: ■ at ambient temperature ■ in the fridge ■ in an electric oven, with/without hot air convection ■ In the microwave oven. m Caution Do not refreeze defrosted food. It can only be refrozen after it has been made into a ready-to-eat meal (cooked or roasted). Do not continue to use the complete max. storage time for the frozen food.
