Freezing and storing food

Cooling drinks quickly

When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer, make sure bottles are

not left in

for more than one hour

; otherwise

they could burst, causing injury and
damage.

Adjusting the interior fittings

Removing the drawers and glass
plates from the freezer

The drawers can be removed for filling,
emptying or cleaning purposes.

You can also use the space in the
freezer more flexibly. If you wish to
freeze large items such as a turkey or
game, the glass cold plates between
the drawers can be removed.



Pull out the drawers as far as they will
go, and then lift them up and out.



Lift the glass plate slightly, pull it for-
wards and out.

Using accessories

Making ice cubes



Fill the ice cube tray three quarters
full with water and place it on the bot-
tom of one of the freezer drawers.



Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,
for example a spoon handle, to re-
move the ice tray from the freezer if it
is stuck.

Tip:

Ice cubes can be removed easily

from the tray by holding it under running
water for a short time.
