Freezing and storing food
Cooling drinks
To quickly cool drinks, it is recommended to use the SuperCool function in the refrigerator section. However, if you choose instead to place bottles in the freezer section for rapid cooling, make sure that they are not left in for more than one hour, as they could burst.
Freezer tray
(may vary by model)
The freezer tray is useful for freezing small items such as berries, herbs and vegetables. These can be frozen individually to maintain their shape when defrosted.
^Space the food out loosely on the tray.
^Hang the tray in one of the upper freezer drawers.
Leave food for 10 - 12 hours to freeze thoroughly on the tray. Transfer it to a freezer bag or suitable container once frozen. Place the bag or container in the freezer drawer.
Cool pack
(may vary by model)
The cool pack prevents the temperature in the freezer from rising too quickly in the event of a power cut.
Place the cool pack in the upper drawer directly on top of food, or on the freezer tray to save space. The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours.
If there is a power cut, place the cool pack directly on top of the frozen food in the upper drawer so that the food will be kept cold for as long as possible.
When placing fresh food in the freezer, use the cool pack to separate the fresh food from the food which is already frozen, so that the frozen food does not begin to thaw.
The cool pack can also be used in a cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for a short period of time.
