Freezer drawers
The freezer drawers make it possible
to quickly and easily find the food
package you want. To gain space, the
drawers can be removed and the
products can be put directly on the
shelves. On all shelves, except the top
shelf, it is possible to place products
that pr otrude 20 mm from the front
edge. This allows maximum use of the
available space.
Do not remove the bottom drawer. It is
required to assure proper air
circu lation.
Freezer tray
Use the freezer tray to freeze berries
and vegetables. After abou t 4 hours
the food will be thoroughly frozen and
can then be packaged normally. Food
that is frozen in this way will not stick
together, enabling you to use only the
amount required.
Ice cubes
Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water
expands as it freezes. Release the ice
cubes by twisting the ice tray.
If ice cubes are kept for a long time,
they will dry out and the taste is
affected. Thus, throw away old ice
cubes and prepare new ones when
needed.
