When freezing, make sure that food
already frozen does not come into
contact with fresh food being frozen
as this could cause the frozen food
to begin to defrost.
Freezer calendar
The freezer calendar on the freezer
drawer gives the length of time which
various foods can be stored for
effectively.
Where the storage time given on the
packaging differs, follow the advice on
the packaging.
Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:
– in a microwave oven,
– in the oven using the "Fan" or
"Defrost" setting,
– at room temperature,
– in a refrigerator,
– in a steam oven.
Poultry It is particularly important to
observe food hygiene rules when
defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and
wash the container it was in, the sink
and your hands. Danger of salmonella
poisoning.
Fruit
should be defrosted at room
temperature in its packing, 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
vegetables.
Never re-freeze partially or fully
defrosted 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.
Ice cube tray
(depending on model)
Fill the ice tray three quarters full with
water and place it at the bottom of one
of the freezer drawers.
Once frozen, use a blunt instrument, for
example a spoon handle, to remove the
ice tray from the freezer.
Ice cubes can be removed easily from
the tray by twisting the tray gently or by
holding it under cold running water for
a short while.
Cooling drinks
When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer, make sure bottles are not left in
the freezer
for more than one hour , as
they could burst.
