Ice pack

(Depending on model)

The ice pack prevents the temperature
in the freezer rising too quickly in the
event of a power cut.

Place the ice pack in the upper drawer
directly on top of food or to save space
on the freezer tray. The ice pack will be
at its most effective after it has been in
the freezer for approx. 24 hours.

If there is a power cut lay the ice pack
directly on top of the frozen food in the
upper drawer so that the food will be
kept cold for the longest time possible.

When placing fresh food in the freezer,
use the ice pack to separate the fresh
food from the food which is already
frozen so that the frozen food does not
begin to thaw.

The ice pack can also be used in a cool
bag to keep food or drinks cool for a
short period of time.
