Frozen Food Storage; Removal Of Freezing Baskets From The Freezer; Thawing - Electrolux ENB 40400 X User Manual

Frozen Food Storage

When first starting the freezer or if the
freezer has been out of use for some
time, we advise you to run your appliance
for at least 2 hours before storing frozen
food.
Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the manufacturer.
Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than is necessary.
It is practical to replace frozen products
into the basket(s) after freezing has
finished. Doing this you could make room
in the freezing compartment for furtner
freezing. Intermediate freezing does not
deteriorate foods already stored.
In large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove the baskets except the
lowest one from appliance and place
food on the shelves.
Removal of freezing baskets from
the freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to
prevent their accidental removal or falling
out. At the time of its removal from the
freezer, pull the basket towards yourself
and, upon reaching the end point,
remove the basket by tilting its front
upwards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift
the front of the basket to insert it into the
freezer. Once you are over the end
points, push the baskets back in their
position.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids in the
freezer.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer can cause a low
temperature skin burn.
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. (See Hints and
Tips)
Do not remove items from the freezer if
your hands are damp/wet, as this could
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer
burns.

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.
