Defrosting food

Observe the following basic rules when defrosting food:
• To defrost food, remove it from the freezer and allow it to defrost
at room temperature or in the refrigerator for best results.
• To defrost food quickly, use the defrost function on your micro-
wave, for example. Observe the manufacturer's instructions and
note that bacteria and germs can form in this way.
• Cook or use thawed foods as soon as possible.
• Dispose of the defrosting liquid.
• If you only want to defrost part of a pack, remove the portion
you need and immediately close the rest of the pack. In this
way, you will avoid "freezer burn" and will reduce ice formation
on the remaining foods.
Decommissioning
If you do not want to use the empty freezer for an extended period,
switch it off in the following way:
1. Remove all food from the freezer and store it in a cool place
so that the food does not spoil.
2. Pull out the mains plug to switch off the freezer.
Notice: If you set the cooling power to 'MIN', the freezer is not
switched off.
3. Remove the drawers 2 from the freezer.
4. Clean the freezer. (See chapter 'Cleaning and maintenance',
page 21.)
5. Leave the door open slightly to avoid mould formation in the
interior.
You have now decommissioned the freezer.
