FREEZING It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly, and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible in this connection.

Press the Super button 6-24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer, depending on how much food is to be frozen. Place the food in the freezer and leave the Super button on for about 24 hours more. Then press the Super button again (yellow light goes off). The freezer will return to normal storage temperature. If you forget to press the Super button again, the freezer will not be damaged by running at the Super setting for some time - but energy will be wasted.
