Removal of freezing baskets from the freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to prevent their accidental removal or falling out. At the time of its removal from the freezer, pull the basket towards yourself and, upon reaching the end point, remove the basket by tilting its front upwards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the front of the basket to insert it into the freezer. Once you are over the end points, push the baskets back in their position.
Frozen Food Storage
When turning on the freezer for the first time or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least 2 hours before storing frozen food.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is necessary.
It is practical to replace frozen products into the basket(s) after freezing has finished. This will enable you to make room in the freezing compartment for other food. Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already stored.
In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the baskets except the lowest one from appliance and place food on the shelves.

Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer can cause a low temperature skin burn.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature, depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen, in this case cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible, or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.
