the permitted storage period in months of
the produce. If frozen produce is

Ice block
Fig. 5/A
(Quantity may vary).
If a power failure or malfunction occurs,
the ice blocks can be used to slow down
the thawing process. The longest storage
time is obtained by placing the ice block
directly on the food in the top
compartment.
The ice blocks can also be used to cool
food temporarily , e.g. in a cold bag.
Freezer tray
Fig. 5/B
The freezer tray is suitable for storing the
ice block and for freezing individual
berries, fruit, herbs and vegetables.
Remove the ice block, distribute the
produce uniformly on the freezer tray and
leave to freeze for approx. 10-12 hours.
Then transfer the produce into freezer
bags or containers. To defrost the
produce, spread out the individual items
of food outside the appliance.
Making ice cubes
Fig. 6
Fill the iceĆcube tray ¾ full of water
and place in the bottom of the freezer
compartment. If the iceĆcube tray is stuck
to the freezer compartment, dislodge with
a blunt implement only (spoon handle).
To loosen the ice cubes, hold the tray
briefly under running water or twist the
tray slightly.
