Defrosting
Note
Approx. 4 hours before defrosting
the appliance, switch on super freezing
so that the food drops to a very low
temperature and can therefore be stored
at room temperature for a longer period.
Proceed as follows:
1. Place the frozen food containers with
the food in a cool location. Place
the ice pack (if enclosed) on the food.
2. Switch the appliance off.
3. Pull out the mains plug or remove
the fuse.
4. To accelerate the defrosting process,
place two pans of hot water on a trivet
in the appliance. Close the appliance
door to prevent heat from escaping.
