Freezer drawers
The freezer drawers make it possible to quickly and
easily find the food package you want. To gain
space, the drawers can be removed and the products
can be put directly on the shelves. On all shelves,
except the top shelf, it is possible to place products
that protrude 20 mm from the front edge. This
allows maximum use of the available space.
Do not remove the bottom drawer. It is required to
assure proper air circulation.
Freezer tray
Use the freezer tray to freeze berries and vegetables.
After about 4 hours the food will be thoroughly
frozen and can then be packaged normally. Food
that is frozen in this way will not stick together,
enabling you to use only the amount required.
Ice cubes
Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water expands as it
freezes. Release the ice cubes by twisting the ice
tray.
If ice cubes are kept for a long time, they will dry
out and the taste is affected. Thus, throw away old
ice cubes and prepare new ones when needed.
Cold accumulator
The cold accumulator will keep the food cold for
longer after a power failure. The cold accumulator
will be most effective when placed at the front of the
fast-freezing tray. When freezing large amounts of
food/provisions, the accumulator moves to the
tray/space nearest to the lower freezing shelf.
When defrosting:
Place the cold accumulator on top of the frozen food
to keep it cold.
Hints and Tips
GB
Saving energy
·
Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is
placed. See the section "Installation". When
installed correctly, the cabinet will consume less
energy.
·
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long
periods, or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
·
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.
·
Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure
safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of
the refrigeration unit
·
It is advisable to periodically clean the
refrigeration system at the back of the appliance
with a duster or vacuum cleaner.
·
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should
be placed in the fridge before being transfered to
the freezer.
·
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages
before placing them in the freezer.
·
Carefully follow the advice on freezing products
in the section "Using the freezer". This will
prevent wasting energy.
·
Do not set the temperature too low in the freezer.
A suitable temperature is in the range of -18°C
to -20°C .
·
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a
thickness of 3-5 mm.
·
Make sure the door gasket is complete and
always clean.
