To remove the drawers (e.g. for cleaning purposes), pull them out as far as the stops, lift and extract.
Ice packs There are two ice packs in one drawer of the freezer. Refer to the section “Prior to Initial Start–Up” concerning freezing of the ice packs. In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice packs will lengthen the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to defrost by several hours. The ice packs can only fulfil this task if they are placed in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use the ice packs for cooling cold bags.
