is reduced by about one-third. As far as
possible, keep the lid closed during
freezing. If you know nothing about home
freezing, we recommend that you
purchase a book containing advice and
guidelines.
DEFROSTING
In general food should not be defrosted at
room temperature, since this increases
the risk of bacteria growth. It is best to
defrost large portions of meat or poultry in
the refrigerator, and this also applies to
food which is to be consumed as it is (e.g.
fruit, butter and sliced meat). Small
portions of food can be cooked straight
from the freezer. A good number of ready-
to-cook dishes can also be cooked
without defrosting. Always observe the
instructions on product packaging. Bread
tastes good when defrosted in a moderate
oven. Microwave ovens can be used for
the rapid defrosting of most frozen foods.
Observe the instructions for use of the
microwave oven concerned,especially
regarding foil dishes.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR
FREEZER INSIDE
Remove the plug from the mains socket,
and remove all loose accessories before
cleaning the freezer. The best time to
clean your freezer is after defrosting and
before the electricity supply is connected
again. Use a damp cloth to clean your
freezer. Use hot water, and a mild, non-
aromatic cleaning agent. After cleaning
the freezer, clean the basket/baskets
before replacing them.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy
water. Do NOT use abrasive products.
WHEN NOT IN USE
Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply.
Remove all goods from the freezer.
Clean the freezer as described above.
Leave the lid slightly open.
IMPORTANT
Never use strong cleaning agents,
scouring powder or strongly
aromatic cleaning agents to clean
your freezer inside, since this will
damage the inside and leave a
strong smell.
