Freezer drawers
The freezer drawers ensure that it is
quick and easy to 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 protrude 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
circulation.
Freezer tray
Use the freezer tray to freeze berries
and vegetables. After about 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.
HINT and TIPS
Saving energy
· Pay careful attention to where the
cabinet is placed. See the section
"Installation". When installed correctly,
the cabinet will consume less energy.
· Try to avoid keeping the door open
for long periods, or opening the door
too frequently as warm air will enter the
cabinet, and cause the compressor to
switch on unnecessarily often.
· Ensure there are no obstructions
preventing the door from closing
properly.
· Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This
will ensure safer defrosting of foods
and reduce the work of the
refrigeration unit
· It is advisable to periodically clean the
refrigeration system at the back of the
appliance with a duster or vacuum
cleaner.
· Always leave warm food to cool
down to room temperature before
placing in the fridge.
· Food which is to be frozen (when
cool) should be placed in the fridge
before being transfered to the freezer.
· Avoid unnecessary frosting in the
cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into
airtight packages before placing them
in the freezer.
· Carefully follow the advice on freezing
products in the section "Using the
freezer". This will prevent wasting
energy.
· Make sure the door gasket is
complete and always clean.
