2-star door shelves
In the freezer compartment of your fridge-freez-
er, there are 2-star door shelves (14). They
are labelled with the symbol
. The tem-
perature in the 2-star door shelves is -12 °C
and colder.
• Only use the 2-star door shelves for medi-
um-term storage or already frozen goods,
e.g. frozen foods.
The storage period in the 2-star door
shelves is a maximum of 3 weeks. Please
note the manufacturer instructions on the
packaging.
Defrosting food
Observe the following basic rules when de-
frosting food:
• To defrost food, remove it from the freezer
and let it defrost at room temperature or
in the refrigerator.
• To defrost food quickly, use the defrost
function on your microwave, for example.
Observe the manufacturer’s instructions
and note that bacteria and germs can form
in this way.
• Cook or use thawed foods as soon as
possible.
• Dispose of the defrosting liquid.
• If you only want to defrost part of a pack,
remove the portion you need and imme-
diately close the rest of the pack. In this
way, you will avoid “freezer burn” and will
reduce ice formation on the remaining
foods.
• Always defrost meat, poultry and fish in
the refrigerator. Make sure that the frozen
food is not immersed in its own thawing
liquid.
