� Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer. � Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time. � Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the freezer compartment. � Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer compartment. All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions. Lay the packaged food on the floor of the freezer compartment. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost. Tips: � The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods: � freezer bags and polyethylene wraps; � special cans for frozen goods; � extra�thick aluminium foil. � The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrap: plastic clips, rubber bands or tape. � Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for the frozen food to dry out. � Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly. � Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste�like goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
Preparation of Ice Cubes Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer
16 compartment and leave to freeze. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend 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 compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects, since you may damage the refrigerating circuit. Use the plastic scraper.
