DEFROSTING FOOD The same method should not be used for defrosting all types of food. If you purchase frozen food from stores, follow the instructions on the packaging. Green vegetables should be cooked without defrosting. Pre-cooked and ready prepared food can generally be cooked without defrosting. Meat and fish should be slowly defrosted in the refrigerator over several hours. If you have a microwave oven, defrosting can to a large extent be accelerated. Fill the trays inside the freezer three quarters full of water. Place the trays in the freezer, preferably in the lower section. Once frozen, the ice cubes can be removed by gently twisting the trays.

In order to avoid this, the layer of ice should be removed at least twice each year. Move the thermostat control to the STOP position and the freezer will be turned off. A scraper can be used to help remove the ice, or a container of hot water can be placed inside. Do not use sharp objects or electric heating devices. Collect the water which forms with an absorbent cloth and clean and dry the inside thoroughly. Move the thermostat control to the normal operating position. Two hours later the frozen food can be replaced in the freezer.
