Practical advice on freezing
·When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if necessary the shelf beneath as this is the coldest part.
·Place the foods directly on the freezer shelves.
·Spread out the products as much as possible to allow air to circulate between them.
·Do not place food products which are to be
frozen directly against other frozen food. The heat from the unfrozen food may cause the frozen food to thaw on the surface.
· Once frozen,
The food will then stay cold longer in the event of a power failure.
·Do not freeze too much food at the same time. The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in the specifications section.

keeps the set temperature one day after switching it on for the first time. Only after then should the freezer be used to freeze fresh foodstuff.

Freezer drawers
The freezer drawers make it easy 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.
