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.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally
should either be eaten as soon as possible, or thrown
away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not
been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then
refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must never be
refrozen.

To Make Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray
¾
full with cold water, place in
the freezing compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it under
running water for a few seconds.
Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to
the freezer compartment by using pointed or
sharp edged objects.
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.
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.
