HOW TO USE THE FREEZER The freezer can be used for storing already frozen food and for freezing fresh food.

Tips for freezing and storing fresh food. • Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food. • Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in order to obtain high quality frozen food. • Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original nutritional value, consistency, colour and flavour.
Removing the baskets • Pull the baskets out fully, then lift them up slightly in order to remove. Drawers (except the bottom drawer) may be removed in order to obtain increased storage space (Fig. 1) Ensure that the load does not exceed the limit (if present) indicated on the side walls of the appliance. Please follow the storage times given on the frozen food packages. Fig. 1 Making ice cubes • Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the special freezer compartment.
