3. Super mode
Press the 'Set' button for 3 seconds to select the 'Super Freeze' mode, after which the 'Super' symbol lights
up on the display. Press the 'Set' button again for 3 seconds to turn off 'Super Freeze' mode, after which
the 'Super' symbol on the display goes out. When 'Super Freeze' mode is on, the temperature inside the
compartment cools down quickly, which prevents the loss of nutritional value of the food and keeps freshness
intact. The 'Super Cool' mode switches off automatically 50 hours after switching on, and the refrigerator
temperature will return to the last set temperature.
4.3 STORAGE OF FOOD
•
The freezer is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen food for a long time.
•
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is for this appliance: 5 kg.
•
The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add any other food to freeze during this period.
•
The freezer temperature is kept below -18°C if the freezer thermostat is set to the middle position. This allows
food to be stored for long periods of time. However, the storage period on the packaging must be observed.
•
The ideal temperature setting for the freezer is -18°C. It is possible to set it colder, but in principle this is not
necessary. A lower temperature does not mean that food will last longer, but every degree lower does mean
more energy consumption.
•
Allow hot food to cool to room temperature before putting it in the freezer.
•
Only freeze fresh and thoroughly cleaned foods.
•
Prepare the food in small portions so that it is soon completely frozen and can then be thawed in the desired
amount.
•
Do not allow fresh, non-frozen food to come into contact with food that has already been frozen, and prevent
the temperature of the food that has already been frozen from rising.
•
Lean foods are better and more durable than fatty foods; salt shortens the shelf life of food.
•
Ice lollies, if eaten directly from the freezer, can cause frostbite.
•
It is advisable to indicate the freezing date on each individual package in order to keep track of the shelf life.
•
It is advisable to keep the time between buying the food and putting it in the freezer as short as possible.
•
Pack the food airtight into food freshness bags before distributing it evenly over the freezer drawers.
•
Packaging bags you use should be dry, in case several packaging bags are frozen together.
•
Ensure there is sufficient space between foods. Putting them too close together blocks the cold airflow, affecting
the cooling effect.
•
To prevent cross-contamination and odour transfer, food should be packed in suitable materials that are sturdy,
flavourless, impermeable to air and water, non-toxic and pollution-free.
Tips for buying frozen goods
•
When you buy frozen products, read the storage guidelines on the packaging. You can store any frozen
product for the period indicated by the star rating. This usually corresponds to the period stated as "best before"
on the front of the package.
•
Ensure that frozen food packaging is in perfect condition.
•
Always buy frozen products at the end of your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
•
Try to keep frozen food together while shopping and on the way home as this helps to keep food cooler.
•
Only buy frozen food if you can freeze it immediately. In most shops, you can buy special insulating bags.
These keep frozen food cold for longer.
•
Use good quality food and handle it as little as possible. When food is frozen in small quantities, it takes less
time to freeze or thaw it.
•
Estimate the amount of food to be frozen. When freezing large quantities of fresh food, set the temperature
control knob to low mode, this sets the freezer temperature lower. This allows you to freeze the food quickly,
keeping it fresh.
