Defrosting Food - Fagor FQ8I205F8 Bedienungsanleitung

FREEZER:
With the passage of time, a layer of frost or ice forms on the freezer walls. If this is excessive, it
will cause your refrigerator to consume more energy. We recommend that this layer of ice be
removed at least twice yearly.
Defrosting must be done as quickly as possible; if the temperature of the food rises, the period of
conservation is reduced.
PROCEDURE FOR DEFROSTING:
1. Choose a time when there is not much food in the freezer.
2. Empty the freezer and place the frozen food in thermal bags in a cool place.
3. Switch off the refrigerator as described on page 7.
4. To speed up the process, a plastic spatula can be used: never use sharp metal or pointed
objects (knives, forks, metal spatulas ...) which may damage the refrigerating circuit.

DEFROSTING FOOD

Not all food should be defrosted in the same way
If you have bought frozen food, follow the instructions on the pack.
Vegetables should be cooked directly.
In general, prepared or pre-cooked foods can be cooked directly.
Meat and fish must be defrosted slowly in the refrigerator over several hours. If you have a
microwave, this can speed this considerably.
