Recommendations for Defrosting Food
The defrost function works by means of a 2-level system of hot air. HI is for meats
in general and LO is for fi sh, cakes, pastries and bread. When selecting the defrost
function, select HI or LO on the temperature display by pressing on the temperature
button
and then the
buttons.
• Unpackaged food should be placed on the oven tray or on a dish.
• Defrost large pieces of meat or fi sh by placing them over the grid with a tray
underneath to collect any liquid.
• Meat and fi sh do not need to be completely thawed before cooking. Condiments
can be added once the surface is soft.
• Food should always be cooked after defrosting.
• Do not refreeze defrosted food.
