en-us Super freezing Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavor. Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an unwanted temperature rise. As a rule, 4-6 hours is adequate. This appliance runs constantly and the freezer compartment drops to a very low temperature. If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, super freezing must be switched on for 24 hours before the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment. Smaller quantities of food (up to 4.4 lbs or 2 kg) can be frozen without "super freezing". Note: When super freezing is switched on, increased operating noises may occur. Note: You can use this function to accelerate the production of ice cubes. Switching on and off Press the "super freezer" button. If super freezing has been switched on, the button is lit. Super freezing switches off automatically after approximately 2½ days. Thawing frozen food Depending on the type and application, you can select one of the following options: ■ in the refrigerator ■ in an electric oven with/without a hot air fan ■ in a microwave , CAUTION: Do not refreeze partly or completely thawed food. Only ready-to-eat meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen. Ice maker , WARNING: To avoid risk of injury, never reach into the ice cube maker! Using the ice maker The ice maker only works when the appliance is connected to the water mains. When using the ice maker for the first time, do not use the first 30-40 ice cubes for reason of hygiene. Operating the ice maker As soon as the freezer compartment has reached its freezing temperature, ice cube production starts. After 2-3 hours the ready ice cubes are automatically discharged into the ice cube container. Note: The appliance produces more ice if you lower the freezer compartment temperature. This will slightly increase the energy consumption of your appliance. Occasionally ice cubes will freeze together. When the ice cube container is full, ice making switches off automatically. When ice cubes are being made, the buzzing water valve, the water flowing into the ice cube tray and the falling ice cubes can be heard. Note: The fill level gauge in the ice maker (moving metal hook) must not be blocked! Ice making will otherwise be interrupted. All materials used in the ice maker are odourless and tasteless. If the ice has an aftertaste, this may be caused by: ■ Mineral and chlorine content of the drinking water. ■ Material of the domestic water line or connection line. ■ Freshness of the drinking water. If water has not been dispensed for a long time, the water may have a "stale" taste. In this case dispense approximately 30-40 ice cubes and throw away. 12

Super freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in

order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance

and flavor.

Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer

compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an

unwanted temperature rise.

As a rule, 4–6 hours is adequate.

This appliance runs constantly and the freezer

compartment drops to a very low temperature.

If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, super

freezing must be switched on for 24 hours before

the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment.

Smaller quantities of food (up to 4.4 lbs or 2 kg) can

be frozen without “super freezing”.

Note:

When super freezing is switched on, increased

operating noises may occur.

Note:

You can use this function to accelerate the production

of ice cubes.

Switching on and off

Press the "super freezer" button.

If super freezing has been switched on, the button is lit.

Super freezing switches off automatically after

approximately 2½ days.

Thawing frozen food

Depending on the type and application, you can select

one of the following options:

■

in the refrigerator

■

in an electric oven with/without a hot air fan

■

in a microwave

CAUTION:

Do not refreeze partly or completely thawed

food. Only ready-to-eat meals (boiled or fried)

may be refrozen.

Ice maker

WARNING:

To avoid risk of injury, never reach into the ice

cube maker!

Using the ice maker

The ice maker only works when the appliance is

connected to the water mains.

When using the ice maker for the first time, do not use

the first 30-40 ice cubes for reason of hygiene.

Operating the ice maker

As soon as the freezer compartment has reached its

freezing temperature, ice cube production starts. After

2–3 hours the ready ice cubes are automatically

discharged into the ice cube container.

Note:

The appliance produces more ice if you lower the

freezer compartment temperature. This will slightly

increase the energy consumption of your appliance.

Occasionally ice cubes will freeze together.

When the ice cube container is full, ice making

switches off automatically.

When ice cubes are being made, the buzzing water

valve, the water flowing into the ice cube tray and

the falling ice cubes can be heard.

Note:

The fill level gauge in the ice maker (moving metal

hook) must not be blocked!

Ice making will otherwise be interrupted.

All materials used in the ice maker are odourless and

tasteless.

If the ice has an aftertaste, this may be caused by:

■

Mineral and chlorine content of the drinking water.

■

Material of the domestic water line or connection

line.

■

Freshness of the drinking water. If water has not

been dispensed for a long time, the water may have

a “stale” taste. In this case dispense approximately

30-40 ice cubes and throw away.
