The storage drawers can be easily removed. Pull the drawer towards you until it reaches it's stop position. Hold securely on both sides, lift the front of the drawer to release and remove.

It is generally more convenient to use the drawers but if a lot of food is to be stored the drawers can be taken out and food placed directly onto the grids. Ensure that packets/containers of food are thoroughly dry before placing onto the grids. Note : If the drawers are not used, DO NOT store food beyond the line embossed in the interior cabinet wall. Food beyond this line will limit the air circulation and affect the performance of the freezer.
