Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at
room temperature, depending on the time available
for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

Important

If there is a power failure when food is in the
freezer, do not open the door of the freezer
compartment. The frozen food will not be
affected if the power cut is of short duration (up
to 6-8 hours) and the freezer compartment is full,
otherwise, it is recommended that the food
should be used within a short time (a
temperature increase of the frozen food shortens
its safe storage period).

for the production of ice-cubes.

drawer.

recommended to keep the closed tray under if possible
luke warm water for a few seconds.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
