Thawing frozen food

The thawing method must be adjusted to the food and
application in order to retain the best possible product
quality.
Thawing methods:
▯
in the refrigerator compartment (especially suitable
for animal-based foods such as fish, meat, cheese,
quark)
▯
at room temperature (bread)
▯
in the microwave (food for immediate consumption
or immediate preparation)
▯
in the oven/cooker (food for immediate
consumption or immediate preparation)
Caution!
Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. You can only
refreeze the food when it has been used for a ready-to-
eat meal (boiled or fried).
The frozen food can no longer be stored for the
maximum duration.

The defrost process is performed automatically.

Freezer compartment

As the frozen food may not start thawing, the freezer
compartment does not defrost automatically. A layer of
hoarfrost in the freezer compartment impairs
refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power
consumption.
▯
Remove the layer of frost regularly!
Caution!
Avoid any damage to the pipes of the refrigeration
circuit.
If refrigerant escapes, it may injure your eyes or ignite.
– Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a knife or
pointed object.

temperature.
2 Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a
cool location.
3 Switch off the appliance.
4 Pull out the mains plug or switch off the fuse.
5 To accelerate the defrosting process: place a pan
of hot water on a trivet in the freezer compartment.
