Smeg FA28B manual Defrosting Frozen Food, Ice Making

Defrosting Frozen Food

Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly activate after defrosting and make foods perishable.

Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and ready- made meals.

Ice Making

Recommended thermostat position for ice making is on the middle setting.

Fill two thirds of the ice tray with cold water or any other liquid convenient for freezing. Insert the ice tray into the guides or on the cooling plate.

Time required for the ice to form, largely depends on ambient temperature, thermostat setting and on how often you open the door.

It usually takes 2-6 hours (depends on which model of refrigerator you have). With smaller refrigerators we recommend you make a stock of ice cubes (store them in a separate plastic box). The easiest way to empty the ice tray is to turn the tray around, pour it with cold water and slightly twist it (bend it).
