•
Transport frozen foods in special styro-
foam boxes or insulated bags.
•
Observe the storage conditions and times
on the packaging.
Defrosting food
•
Observe the following basic rules when
defrosting food:
•
To defrost food, remove it from the
freezer and let it defrost at room tem-
perature or in the refrigerator.
•
Always defrost meat, poultry and fish
in the refrigerator. Make sure that the
frozen food is not immersed in its own
thawing liquid.
•
To defrost food quickly, use the de-
frost function on your microwave, for
example. Observe the manufacturer's
instructions and note that bacteria and
germs can form in this way.
•
If you only want to defrost part of a
pack, remove the portion you need
and immediately close the rest of the
pack. In this way, you will avoid "freez-
er burn" and will reduce ice formation
on the remaining foods.
Cook or use thawed foods as soon as
possible. Dispose of the defrosting liquid.

1. Fill the ice cube trays (17) of the included
ice maker (18) up to approx. ¾ full with
