Defrosting frozen
produce
Depending on the type of food and
intended use, frozen produce can be
defrosted:
S At room temperature,
S In a refrigerator,
S In an electric oven, with/without fan
assisted hot air,
S In a microwave
Note
Do NOT refreeze food which is beginning
to defrost or which has already defrosted.
Only food which is subsequently prepared
(cooked or fried) may be refrozen.
No longer store the frozen produce for the
max. storage period.

disconnecting the
appliance

prolonged period:
S Pull out the mains plug or switch off the
fuse.
S Defrost and clean the appliance.
S Leave the appliance door open.

Risk of electric shock
!
NEVER use a steam cleaner. If live
components come into contact with
condensing steam, they may short circuit
or cause an electric shock.
Explosion hazard
!
Defrosting sprays may form explosive
gases and/or contain solvents or
propellants which corrode plastic and/or
may be a health hazard.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Warning
!
Do not remove the frost with a knife or
other sharp object. Be careful not to
damage the refrigerant circulation pipes.
Ejecting refrigerant can ignite itself or lead
to damage to the eyes.
Do NOT place any electric appliances
or naked flames in the appliance.
Notes
Large accumulations of ice or hoar frost
on the freezer grids impede the efficiency
of the appliance and cause the rate of
energy consumption to increase.
If the layer of frost is greater than 5 mm
then the appliance should be defrosted.
Most appropriately when there is very little
or no frozen food in the freezer.
