Thawing; Making Ice Cubes - Electrolux U21103 EU 6233 I Instruction Book

Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least two hours in the Ç fast
freezeÈ mode before storing frozen food.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Warning
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.
Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer, can cause a low temperature skin
burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
Òfrost/freezer burnsÓ.
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will
not be affected if the power cut is short and the
freezer is full. Do not open the door . Should the food
begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must
not be re-frozen.

Thawing

Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature
depending on the time available. Small food items
may even be cooked from frozen; in this case
cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw
accidentally should either be eaten as soon as
possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is
uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it
can be cooked and then refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Making ice cubes

The appliance is provided with one or more plastic
ice cube trays.
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand
and place them in one of the freezer compartment.
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight
twist. Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to
remove the trays from the freezer.
