Recommendations for thawing out frozen food
Frozen food can be thawed out using a system
of hot air with two power levels: HI for all kinds
of meat and LO for fish, pastry and bread. When
the thawing function has been chosen, the HI
and LO levels can be selected with the tempera-
ture selection control. The level chosen appears
on the temperature display.
• Unpacked food should be placed on the oven
tray or in a receptacle suitable for use in
ovens.
• Large pieces of meat or fish should be thawed
out on an oven rack, placing the oven tray
underneath to collect the resulting liquid.
• Meat and fish do not need to be thawed out
completely before cooking, and can be coo-
ked when the surface is soft enough for sea-
soning.
• Once thawed out, food should always be coo-
ked.
Consult the following table for thawing times and the required thawing level:
The times given above are only an indication. Thawing times depend on room temperature, the
weight of the frozen food and the degree to which it is frozen.
