Freezing and storing food (depending on model)

Defrosting frozen goods

Never re-freeze partially or fully de-
frosted food. Defrosted food may only
be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
Frozen goods can be defrosted in differ-
ent ways:
- In a microwave oven
- In an oven using "Fan heat" or the
"Defrost" setting
- At room temperature
- In the refrigerator zone (the cold
given off by the frozen food helps to
keep the other food cold)
- In a steam oven
Flat pieces of partially thawed meat
or fish can be placed directly into a hot
frying pan.
Meat and poultry (e.g. mince, chicken,
fish fillets) should not come into contact
with other foods while defrosting. Catch
the liquid from defrosting and dispose
of it carefully.
Fruit should be defrosted at room tem-
perature in its packaging, or in a
covered bowl.
Most vegetables can be cooked while
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling
water or hot fat. The cooking time is
slightly less than that of fresh veget-
ables due to changes in the cell struc-
ture.

Cooling drinks

 To cool drinks quickly, place them in
the refrigerator section, and switch on
the Super cool function.

When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer compartment, make sure
bottles are not left in for more than
one hour; otherwise they could
burst.

Using accessories

Making ice cubes
 Fill the ice cube tray three quarters
full of water and place it on the bot-
tom of the freezer compartment.
 Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,
for example a spoon handle, to re-
move the ice tray from the freezer if it
is stuck.
Tip: Ice cubes can be removed easily
from the tray by holding it under running
water for a short time.
