Cabinet interior

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.

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.
