Defrosting food
You can defrost food in five different ways:
•
By putting them in your appliance's refri-
gerator section for several hours
•
By leaving them to defrost gently at am-
bient temperature
•
In a conventional oven at a very low
temperature (40/50°C)
•
In a microwave oven
•
By cooking them immediately
Defrosting them in the refrigerator is the
slowest but safest method.
Defrosting your freezer
Defrost your freezer when a layer of frost and
ice 5-6mm thick has formed inside your free-
zer. This thickness of ice prevents your freezer
from operating correctly, reduces its efficiency
and causes it to consume more energy.
Remove all the food from the freezer. Place it
in isothermic bags or wrap it in newspaper and
store it in a cool place.
Switch off your appliance by setting the ther-
mostat to
. Keep the door to the freezer
section open.
Place a pan of hot water on a small plank of
wood or a placemat to isolate it and place
them both inside your freezer to speed up the
defrosting process.
Place the drain and a receptacle at the bottom
as shown in the Drawing.
Never refreeze food once it has de-
frosted, even partially, without
cooking it first.
We would advise you not to place
any items you have just taken out
of the freezer straight into your
mouth (ice cream, ice cubes, etc.):
they will be at a very low tempera-
ture and you risk frostbite.
Avoid touching frozen or deep-fro-
zen food with wet hands; you may
stick to the food.
Never use a heater, hairdryer or any
other electrical appliance nor any
knives or other metal objects to
speed up defrosting: you could da-
mage your appliance irremediably.
Clean your freezer before resetting the ther-
mostat as shown in the section on ""Setting
your refrigerator's temperature" and replacing
the food (see the section on "Cleaning your
appliance").
