Thawing frozen food

Depending on the type of food and
intended use, frozen produce can be
thawed as follows:
S At room temperature
S In the refrigerator
S In an electric oven, with/without fan
assisted hot air
S In the microwave
Note
Do NOT refreeze food which is beginning
to thaw or which has already thawed. It
can only be refrozen when it has been
used to prepare a ready meal (boiled or
fried).
No longer store the frozen produce for the
max. storage period.
Defrosting the freezer
compartment
The freezer compartment does not
defrost automatically, as the frozen
food must not thaw. A layer of
hoarfrost in the freezer compartment
will impair refrigeration of the frozen
food and increase power
consumption. Remove the layer of
hoarfrost regularly.
Attention: Do not scrape off hoarfrost
or ice with a knife or pointed object.
You could damage the refrigerant
tubing. Leaking refrigerant may ignite
or cause eye injuries.

Defrosting aids

You can accelerate the defrosting
process by placing a pan of hot water in
the freezer compartment. Attention:
place the pan on a heat insulating base!

appliances or naked flames to defrost
the freezer compartment, e.g. heaters,
steam cleaners, candles, kerosene
lamps, etc.
