Frozen food storage
If the freezer has been out of use for some time, we
advise you to run your appliance for at least two hours
with the thermostat control to the highest number be-
fore storing frozen food.
Storing ready-frozen foods is quite straightforward.
The packs can be placed beside each other or on top
of each other.
You are strongly advised to place ready-frozen food in
the compartment as quickly as possible after pur-
chase. Also ensure that the external packaging is in-
tact.
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen
water droplets on the pack could indicate that the
product has not been kept at a suitable temperature
and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially
thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be con-
sumed within 24 hours. Never exceed the storage
times indicated.
Do not open the freezer door too often and do not
leave open longer than necessary.
Important
Do not consume ice-lollies which have just come out
of the freezer. Their extremely low temperature can
cause frost burns.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are
damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
"frost/freezer burns".
Caution
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will
not be affected if the power cut is short and if 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
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 refrigera-
tion 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 wa-
ter; 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.
Ice making
Fill the ice trays with water to the top of each ice cube
compartment, and place them in the freezer compart-
ment. To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its
length.
Never use a sharp instrument to remove the ice trays.
