The freezer drawers ensure that it is
quick and easy to find the food package
you want. If large quantities of food are
to be stored, remove all drawers, except
for the bottom drawer which needs to be
in place to provide good air circulation.
Keep the food no closer than 15 mm
from the door.
CAUTION!
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due
to a power failure, if the
power has been off for
longer than the value shown
on rating plate under "rising
time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately then
cooled and then re-frozen.

leave it open longer than necessary.
• The colder the temperature setting,
the higher the energy consumption.
