FrozenĆfood calendar
Fig. 5
To avoid the quality of the frozen food
being diminished, it is important that the
allowable storage duration is not
exceeded. The storage duration depends
on the type of the frozen food. The values
next to the symbols represent the
permissible storage duration for the
respective frozen food in months. In the
case of ovenĆready frozen meals which
are available in stores, the production
date or the Best Before" date should be
observed.
Making ice cubes

Fill the iceĆcube tray ¾ full of water
and place in the bottom of the freezer
compartment. If the iceĆcube tray is stuck
to the freezer compartment, dislodge with
a blunt implement only (spoon handle).
To loosen the ice cubes, hold the tray
briefly under running water or twist the
tray slightly.

If a power failure or malfunction occurs,
the ice blocks can be used to slow down
the thawing process. The ice blocks can
also be used to cool food temporarily ,
e.g. in a cold bag.
