Making Ice-Cubes - HAEGER CF-100.009A Manual De Instrucciones

English
Thawing frozen foods

Partially thawed foods should be eaten as soon as possible. Low temperatures preserve
foods but they do not destroy the micro-organisms which are activated after thawing,
which may cause the stored foods to deteriorate. If thawed foods smell and look normal,
they can be cooked and if required re-frozen once they have cooled.

Depending on their type and intended use, frozen foods can be thawed correctly at room
temperature, in the refrigerator, in an electric oven (conventional or fan), or in a
microwave oven using the relevant function.

Making ice-cubes

Fill the tray provided 2/3 full of water or any other liquid you wish to freeze. Place it in the
freezer compartment, making sure that its bottom is dry so that it will not stick to the shelf of
the compartment. To detach the ice-cubes, twist the tray slightly or place it under running
water for a few seconds.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer compartment has to be defrosted manually. When the thickness of frost or ice on
the shelves exceeds 5cm, the freezer should be defrosted. A few hours before defrosting, set
the thermostat on position ON continuous running in order to further lower the temperature
of the frozen foods.
To start the defrost process:
1. Remove frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
2. Unplug the unit. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer
door open.
3. For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Unscrew and remove drain plug.
This will let the water flow out in the tray. When done, screw on the drain plug in place.
Note: monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow.
4. When draining is complete, wipe the interior of the freezer with a soft cloth. Plug in
power cord back into the electrical outlet.
5. Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
6. Return the food into the freezer.
Important Notes:

Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the frost.

Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for
defrosting.
