Before placing food in the freezer

^ Switch the appliance on to a medium
to cold setting with the On/Off /
temperature selector 24 hours before
placing food in the freezer
compartment.
^ The winter setting should also be
switched on some time before
placing the food in the freezer
compartment (see "Winter setting").
This helps food that is already in the
freezer to stay frozen.
Placing food in the freezer
compartment
^ Place the food flat on the bottom of
the freezer compartment so that it
freezes through to the core as quickly
as possible.
^ Make sure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
sticking together when frozen.
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.
^ The On/Off / temperature selector
can be turned to a lower setting after
the food has been in the freezer for
approx. 24 hours.
^ The winter setting can also be
switched off.
Freezing and storing food

Defrosting

Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:
– in a microwave oven,
– in an oven using the "Fan" or
"Defrost" setting,
– at room temperature,
– in the refrigerator (the cold given off
by the frozen food helps to keep
other food cold),
– 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 packaging, 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 due to changes in the cell
structure.
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.
