The maximum amount of fresh food that you can freeze within 24 hours is specified on the type plate (see 10.5 Model plate) under “Freezing capacity … kg/24h”.
To ensure that food quickly freezes through, adhere to the following quantities per package:
– Fruit and vegetables up to 1 kg – Meat up to 2.5 kg
Freezing food using SuperFrost
Depending on the quantity to be frozen, you can activate SuperFrost before freezing in order to achieve lower freezing temperatures. (see SuperFrost)
Appliance without NoFrost:* u Activate SuperFrost if the amount of food you have to
freeze is more than approx. 1 kg.*
Appliance with NoFrost:* u Activate SuperFrost if the amount of food you have to
freeze is more than approx. 2 kg.*
The time at which you activate SuperFrost depends on the amount of food you have to freeze:

6 Saving energy
– Pay attention to good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation holes or grids.
– Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near radi- ators or similar sources of heat.
– If the appliance is placed directly next to an oven, the energy consumption may increase slightly. This is dependent on the service life and usage intensity of the oven.
– Energy consumption depends on the installation condi- tions, e.g. the ambient temperature (see 1.3 Appliance range of use) . A warmer ambient temperature can increase the energy consumption.
– Open the appliance for as short a time as possible. – The lower the temperature is set the higher the energy
consumption. – Keep all food properly packed and covered. This prevents
frost from forming.
* Depending on model and options
13
Controls
– Inserting warm food: allow to cool down to room temper- ature first.
– If there is a thick layer of frost in the appliance: defrost the appliance.*
Dust deposits increase energy consump- tion: – For refrigerators with heat exchangers
