To prevent deterioration of frozen foods, do not exceed the permitted storage date, which
depends on the type of food.
8.2 Thawing frozen foods
Partially thawed foods should be eaten as soon as possible. Low temperatures preserve foods but they
do not destroy the micro-organisms which are activated after thawing, which may cause the stored foods
to deteriorate. If thawed foods smell and look normal, they can be cooked and if required re-frozen once
they have cooled.
Depending on their type and intended use, frozen foods can be thawed correctly at room temperature, in
the refrigerator, in an electric oven (conventional or fan), or in a microwave oven using the relevant
function.
8.3 Making ice-cubes
Fill the tray provided 2/3 full of water or any other liquid you wish to freeze. Place it in the freezer
compartment, making sure that its bottom is dry so that it will not stick to the shelf of the compartment.
To detach the ice-cubes, twist the tray slightly or place it under running water for a few seconds.
