Super Freezing; Thawing Frozen Food; Refrigerator Compartment - Siemens KM40FSB20 Gebrauchsanleitung

Super freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible
in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance
and flavour.
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 2 kg) can be frozen
without "super freezing".
Note
When super freezing is switched on, increased
operating noises may occur.
Switching on and off
1. Press freezer compartment selection button 5.
The freezer compartment display 6 is activated.
2. Press the "super" button 12.
If the freezer compartment display 6 shows "super"
and a temperature setting of -30 °C, super freezing
has been activated.
Super freezing automatically switches off after
approx. 2½ days.

Thawing frozen food

Depending on the type and application, select one
of the following options:
at room temperature
■
in the refrigerator
■
in an electric oven, with/without fan assisted hot-air
■
in the microwave
■
m
Caution
Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. Only ready
meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen.
No longer store the frozen produce for the max.
storage period.

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage
location for ready meals, cakes and pastries, preserved
food, condensed milk and hard cheese.
Storing food
Store fresh, undamaged food. The quality and
■
freshness will then be retained for longer.
In the case of ready-made products and bottled
■
goods, observe the best-before date or use-by date
specified by the manufacturer.
To retain aroma, colour and freshness, pack
■
or cover food well before placing in the appliance.
This will prevent the transfer of flavours and the
discolouration of plastic parts in the refrigerator
compartment.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
■
placing in the appliance.
Note the chill zones in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment
creates different chill zones.
The coldest zone is right at the bottom in the
refrigerator compartment and in the flip tray for large
bottles.
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Notes
Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest
■
zone. Cheese can then continue to release its aroma
and the butter will still be easy to spread.
Store delicate foods, e.g. fish, sausage, meat, in the
■
cool-fresh compartment (see "The cool-fresh
compartment" section).
Opening and closing the refrigerator
compartment doors
There is a sealing flap on the left refrigerator
compartment door. This sealing flap seals the gap
between the refrigerator compartment doors.
m
Caution
The sealing flap will get damaged if you close the left
refrigerator compartment door while the refrigerator
compartment door on the right is already closed.
Therefore always close the left refrigerator door first.
