If the ventilation slots are blocked,
the cooling performance will de-
crease and energy consumption will
increase.
When placing food in the freezer,
make sure that the ventilation slots
are not blocked.
 Preferably place the frozen food in the
lowest freezer drawer. The food is
frozen particularly quickly and gently.
Tip: You can expand the space avail-
able in the freezer zone. If you wish to
freeze large frozen food such as a tur-
key or game, the glass shelves and the
freezer drawers can be removed.
 Place the frozen food in the refrigera-
tion appliance so that it is in contact
with the bottom of the appliance or
the interior side walls.
Once frozen:
 Switch the SuperFreeze function
off.

drawers and push them back in.
