Thawing food
Before eating, frozen or deep frozen food may be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at ambient temperature, depending on the time available.
Some food may also be cooked directly when taken out of the freezer, while it is
still frozen. In this case, cooking will take longer.
Important In the event of accidental thawing, caused for example by a power
break, quickly eat the thawed food. Never refreeze thawed food.
Warning! No thawed food may be replaced in the freezer. Place it in the
refrigerator then eat it quickly.
Refreezing a thawed product encourages the spread of bacteria. This may
become a health hazard if the bacteria that spreads are pathogens, as these
may cause serious food poisoning depending on the type of bacteria involved.
If any doubt, cook the food involved.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
To guarantee optimum performance, comply with the following instructions:
• Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer.
• Ensure that frozen food is quickly carried from the retailer to your freezer.
• Do not open the door too often or avoid leaving the door open longer than necessary.
• Once thawed, food will deteriorate rapidly and should never be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage states shown on the food.
