Defrost
Use the Fan Plus
function without
setting the temperature for gently
defrosting food.
The fan will switch on and circulate air
at room temperature around the oven
cavity.
Danger of salmonella poisoning!
It is particularly important to observe
food hygiene rules when defrosting
poultry.
Do not use the liquid from the
defrosted poultry. Pour it away, and
wash the tray, the sink and your
hands.
Useful tips
– Where possible, remove the
packaging and put the food to be
defrosted on the universal tray or into
a suitable dish.
– When defrosting poultry, put it on the
rack over the universal tray to catch
the defrosted liquid so that the meat
is not lying in this liquid.
– Meat and poultry need to be fully
defrosted before cooking. Fish, on
the other hand, can be partially
defrosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently soft to
take herbs and seasoning.
Defrosting times
The time needed for defrosting
depends on the type and weight of the
food, and at what temperature it was
deep frozen. The following chart is for
guidance only. It is important to check
that food is thoroughly defrosted.
