Transport frozen foods in special styrofoam

Defrosting food

Observe the following basic rules when de-
frosting food:
– To defrost food, remove it from the freezer
and let it defrost at room temperature 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 defrost
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 immedi-
ately close the rest of the pack. In this way,
you will avoid 'freezer burn' and will reduce
ice formation on the remaining foods.
Cook or use thawed foods as soon as
possible. Dispose of the defrosting
li quid.

Preparing ice cubes

CAUTION
Health hazard!
Eating ice cubes which have been pre-
pared using impure or standing water
can damage health. Incorrect handling
can lead to risks of causing food poison-
ing.
■ Use only potable water to make ice
cubes.
• Fill the supplied ice cube container to ¾
full with fresh drinking water and place it
horizontally in one of the freezer drawers.
The ice cubes are best removed by
bending the ice cube container slightly
or holding it under running water for a short
while.
