Thawing Frozen Food; Defrosting The Freezer Compartment - Bosch KDL Series Operating Instructions Manual

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.
Proceed as follows
1. Remove the frozen food and store
temporarily in a cool location.
2. Pull out the mains plug or remove
the fuse.
3. Leave the appliance door open.
Wipe up condensation with a cloth
or sponge.
4. Wipe the freezer compartment dry.
5. Switch on the appliance again.
6. Put the frozen food back in the freezer
compartment.
Warning: Never use electrical
appliances or naked flames to defrost
the freezer compartment, e.g. heaters,
steam cleaners, candles, kerosene
lamps, etc.
Caution when using defrosting sprays:
S Defrosting sprays may form explosive
gases
S Defrosting sprays may contain solvents
or propellants which attack plastic
S Defrosting sprays may be a health
hazard.
Follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
