Thawing; Making Ice Cubes; Fresh Food Refrigeration - AEG Electrolux ER 6422 T Instruction Booklet

Thawing

Food can be thawed in a number of ways,
depending on the type of food and the size of the
packs.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the
refrigeration compartment and small pieces of
meat or poultry can even be cooked while still
frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly
cooked through.
Vegetables should be directly immersed in
boiling water; ready-cooked dishes can be
placed directly in the oven in their aluminium
wrapping.
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for
thawing any type of frozen or deep-frozen food:
follow the oven instructions, particularly
regarding the placement of aluminium wrapping
in the oven.

Making ice cubes

The appliance is provided with a plastic ice cube
tray. Fill the tray 3/4 full to allow the ice to
expand and place it in the
compartment. To turn out the ice cubes simply
give the tray a slight twist to release the cubes.
Important
Do not consume ice-lollies which have just
come out of the
extremely low temperature can cause frost
burns.
Do not remove items from the
compartment if your hands are damp/wet, as
this could cause skin abrasions or "frost/freezer
burns".

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store
warm food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator; do cover or wrap the food,
particularly if it has a strong flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic,
which may obstruct the air circulation through
them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here
are some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap in
polythene bags and place on the first shelf under
the -star compartment.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for
one or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crisper.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in
special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as
much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should
be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with
runners so that shelves can be positioned as
desired.
