IMPORTANT WARNINGS ON FREEZING FRESH FOOD Only freeze the food that is suitable for freezing in the freezer. Make sure the food you freeze is of high quality and fresh. Choose appropriate packaging and use the packaging correctly. Packaging should not be permeable to humidity; it should be airtight to prevent the food from drying out and loss of vitamins. Label the food; indicate the type of food, amount, and date of freezing. It is important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible. • 24 hours before defrosting, activate the super freeze function to additionally cool the food (see section »Freezing Process«). After this period, remove the food from the freezer and protect them from defrosting. • Switch off the appliance (see chapter Switching the appliance on/off) and unplug the power cord. • Do not use any defrosting sprays as they may melt the plastic parts or harm your health. • Do not use a knife or any other sharp object to remove the frost, because you may damage a pipe of the cooling system.
