Caution
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer
will not be affected if the power cut is short and if
the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the
food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and
must not be re-frozen.
Thawing
Food can be thawed in a number of ways, depending
on the type of food and the size of the packs.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the
refrigeration compartment and small pieces of meat
or poultry can even be cooked while still frozen, but
you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked
through.
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling
water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in
the oven in their aluminium wrapping.
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for
thawing any type of frozen or deep-frozen food:
follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding
the placement of aluminium wrapping in the oven.
Ice making
Fill the ice trays with water to the top of each ice
cube compartment, and place them in the freezer
compartment. To release the ice cubes, twist the
tray along its length.
Never use a sharp instrument to remove the ice
trays.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food
or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cover or
wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which
may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat and poultry: wrap in polythene bags and
place on top of the salad crisper.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two
days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crisper.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with runners
so that shelves can be positioned as desired (Fig. 5).
