Freezing and storing food
51
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
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 of 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 cube 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.
Using the cool pack
The cool pack prevents the temperature
in the freezer 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 drinks cool for a short pe-
riod of time in a cool box or bag.
