Freezing and storing food

44

Cooling drinks quickly

Risk of injury from broken glass!

Bottles and cans of drinks, particu-
larly carbonated drinks, can burst
when frozen.
Do not freeze any drinks in bottles or
cans.

Adjusting the interior fittings

Removing the drawers and glass
plates from the freezer section

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

You also have the flexibility to expand
the space available in the freezer sec-
tion. If you wish to freeze large items,
such as turkey or game, you can re-
move the glass plates between the
freezer drawers.

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

Lift the glass plate slightly, and then
pull it forward and out.

Using accessories

Using the cool pack

The cool pack prevents the temperature
in the freezer section from rising too
quickly in the event of a power outage.
This can help prolong the storage life.

Place the cool pack in the top drawer
of the freezer section.

The cool pack will be at its most effec-
tive after it has been in the freezer for
approx. 24 hours.

– In the event of a power outage

Place the frozen cool pack directly on
top of the frozen food in the front of
the top drawer.

Tip: 

When placing fresh food in the

freezer, use the cool pack to separate
the fresh food from the food which is al-
ready frozen so that the frozen food
does not begin to thaw.

Tip: 

The cool pack can also be used to

keep food or drink cool for a short pe-
riod of time in a cool box or bag.
