USING THE ICE-BOX or FREEZER
Ice-box
This compartment is used to keep food frozen for a maximum of 2 weeks, and to make ice-
cubes.
Freezer
This compartment is used to keep food frozen, to freeze fresh products and to make ice-
cubes.
Do not freeze a large quantity of food at any one time (maximum of 1.5 kg/24h), as the faster
an item is frozen, the more it will keep its qualities. Similarly, make sure that you wrap your
foodstuffs before freezing, so that they retain their full flavour and do not spoil the other
products.
The conservation time for frozen food depends on the type of food. Refer to the instructions
on the packaging. Do not place bottles or drink cans in the ice-box as they can burst when
their contents freeze. Highly carbonated drinks can even explode! NEVER keep lemonade,
fruit juice, beer, wine, champagne, etc… in the ice-box/freezer compartment.

must always be de-iced when the layer
of frost reaches a thickness of about 4 mm. In any case, this compartment should be de

frost
ing, you can use a scraper or other plastic implement, but NEVER a metal
instrument or electrical device.
