If the freezer is fully loaded, the frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration; otherwise, it is recommended to consume the food within a very short time. Ice making Fill the ice tray with water to the top of each ice cube compartment, and place it in the freezer. To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its length.
