Defrosting

Carry out the defrosting procedure as quickly as possible if food has not been placed in another freezer. The longer the food is left out at room temperature, the faster it defrosts.

^Use a sponge or towel to soak up the defrosted water.

Do not use defrosting sprays or
After defrosting
