When freezing large items e.g. a turkey
or a large joint of meat, the separator
plate in between two of the freezer
drawers can be removed to give more
room. This way food can be stored in
the space of two drawers.
^
Remove the drawers above and
below the separator plate.
^ Press down on the hook a at the rear
of the separator plate and pull the
plate forwards and out b.
To put the separator plate back in, push
it back into place making sure it audibly
clicks into position.
Freezer calendar
The freezer calendar on the freezer
drawer gives the length of time which
various foods can be stored for
effectively.
Where the storage time given on the
packaging differs, follow the advice on
the packaging.
Marker system for frozen food
Markers serve as a reminder of how
long food has been stored.
Each freezer drawer has two slide
markers with dials. The months are
represented on the dials as 1 – 12.
^ Slide the markers onto the guide
runners on the edge of the drawers.
Use the markers to indicate the type of
food being frozen and turn the dials to
the appropriate number to indicate the
month the food was first placed in the
freezer.
