To give more room for freezing large
items such as a whole turkey or a large
joint of meat the plate between the 2nd
and 3rd drawers can be removed.
^

top.
^ Lift the front edge of the plate out of
its holder and pull the plate out of the
appliance.

Freezer calendar
The freezer calendar on the freezer
drawer gives the length of time which
various foods can be stored for
effectively.
Where the storage time given on the
packaging differs, follow the advice on
the packaging.
Marker system for frozen food
Markers serve as a reminder of how
long food has been stored.
Each freezer drawer has two slide
markers with dials. The months are
represented on the dials as 1 - 12.
^
Clip the markers over the guides at
an angle of approx. 45º. Press
downwards until they click into
position.
Use the markers to indicate the type of
food being frozen, and turn the dials to
the appropriate number to indicate the
month the food was first placed in the
freezer.
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,
–
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!
