It is particularly important to
observe food hygiene rules when de-
frosting poultry. Do not use the liquid
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away,
wash the container it was in, the sink
and your hands.
Never re-freeze partially or fully de-
frosted food. Consume defrosted
food as soon as possible as it will
lose its nutritional value and spoil if
left for too long. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
^ Press down the release button on the
ice cube tray and fill the tray with wa-
ter. Any excess will flow out through
the outlet.
^ Now pull the release button up to
seal the ice cube tray. Place the tray
on the bottom of the freezer section.
^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,
for example a spoon handle, to re-
move the ice tray from the freezer.
^ Ice cubes can be removed easily
from the tray by holding it under cold
running water for a short while.
When cooling drinks quickly, make sure
bottles are not left in the freezer for
more than one hour, as they could
burst.
The cool pack prevents the tempera-
ture in the freezer rising too quickly in
the event of a power cut.
Place the cool pack directly on top of
the food in the top drawer of the freezer.
The cool pack will be at its most effec-
tive after it has been in the freezer for
approx. 24 hours.
If there is a power cut place the cool
pack directly on top of the frozen food
in the upper drawer so that the food will
be kept cold for as long as possible.
When placing fresh food in the freezer,
use the cool pack to separate the fresh
food from the food which is already
frozen so that the frozen food does not
begin to thaw.
The cool pack can also be used in a
cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for
a short period of time.
