Defrosting Frozen Food
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be
used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the
food but it does not destroy microorganisms
which rapidly activate after defrosting and make
foods perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of
foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-
made meals.
Ice Making
Recommended thermostat position for ice
making is on the middle setting.
Fill two thirds of the ice tray with cold water or any
other liquid convenient for freezing. Insert the ice
tray into the guides or on the cooling plate.
Time required for the ice to form, largely depends
on ambient temperature, thermostat setting and
on how often you open the door.
It usually takes 2-6 hours (depends on which
model of refrigerator you have). With smaller
refrigerators we recommend you make a stock of
ice cubes (store them in a separate plastic box).
The easiest way to empty the ice tray is to turn
the tray around, pour it with cold water and
slightly twist it (bend it).
