5.4.5 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.
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.
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. 1 kg fresh food daily

5.4.6 Drawers
Note
The energy consumption increases and the cooling perform-
ance decreases if there is insufficient ventilation.
For appliances with NoFrost:
u
Leave the bottom drawer in the appliance!
u
Always keep the air slits of the fan free at the rear wall!
u

remove the drawers, you can
also remove the shelves,
creating space for large items
of frozen food. Poultry, meat,
large pieces of game and high
bakery products can be frozen
in one piece and prepared.
u
The maximum load of frozen
food for the drawers is 25 kg
each and for the shelves
35 kg each.
6 Maintenance
6.1 Manual defrosting
The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically.
The defrost water evaporates as a result of the heat of the
compressor. Drops of water on the rear wall are perfectly
normal.
u
Regularly clean the drain opening to allow the water to flow
away (see 6.2) .
A layer of frost or ice can build up in the freezer compartment
after a long period of operation.
The layer of frost or ice builds up faster if the appliance is
opened often 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 appli-
ance regularly.
CAUTION
Risk of injury and damage as a result of hot steam!
u
Do not use electric heaters or steam cleaners, naked flames
or defrosting sprays for defrosting.
u
Do not remove ice using sharp instruments.
u
Switch on SuperFrost one day before defrosting.
w
The frozen goods are provided with a “cold reserve”.
u

wrapped in newspaper or a blanket, and store in a cool
place.
