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.

Defrosting

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.

Proceed as follows:

1.

Switch on the super freezing approx. 

4 hours before defrosting.

This means that the food reaches 

very low temperatures and it can be 

stored for longer at room 

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.

6.

Wipe up the condensation water with 

a cloth or sponge.

7.

Wipe the freezer compartment dry.

8.

Switch on the appliance.

9.

Put the frozen food back into the 

appliance.
