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 cupe tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it
in the freezer and leave it to freeze.
To loosen the frozen cubes, either twist the ice cube
tray or hold it under running water for a few
seconds. Important - Never try to free an ice tray
that is frozen to the freezer using pointed or sharp
objects.
