FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Storage
Each drawer and shelf can take up to 55 lbs
(25 kg) frozen food. By removing the 2nd and 3rd drawers and the shelf you can create a double- height space for large frozen food items. This enables you to freeze such things as poultry, large pieces of meat or large cakes without first having to cut them up, so they can be served “whole” afterwards.
If you want to use the maximum
●Always leave the bottom drawer in the appliance.
●If you have removed the top drawer, do not cover the fan slits at the back, otherwise the freezer will not work properly.

To insert: simply slide shelf in and allow the front edge to click into place.

LACERATION HAZARD!
•To avoid possible injury, only adjust an empty shelf. Do not attempt to adjust a shelf with food on it.

Only take out as much food as is needed for thawing. Cook food which has been thawed as quickly as possible. Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:
●in a microwave oven
●in the refrigerator: the safer way to thaw food because there is less chance of bacteria growth and it saves energy. Use this method for high density food such as roasts or poultry.
●Flat portions of meat or fish can be cooked when partially thawed.
●Vegetables can be cooked from frozen (in half the normal time).
