A power failure can cause the defrosting
of the freezer.
If the power was off, for a period of time longer
than the "Rising Time" value, you must use or
cook immediately the defrosted food. Refer to
"TECHNICAL INFORMATION" for the value.
You can freeze the cooked food when it be-
comes cool.
Thawing
Before you cook frozen food or deep-frozen
food, thaw the food in the fridge or at room
temperature.
It is possible to cook small quantities of frozen
food directly from the freezer, but this increa-
ses the cooking time.
