■
The cooking time for frozen meat increases by the defrosting
time
■
Always defrost frozen poultry before cooking so that you can
remove the giblets
■
Cook frozen fish at the same temperatures as fresh fish
■
You can place large quantities of ready made frozen
vegetables in aluminium dishes in the cooking compartment
at the same time
■
Use shelf height 1 when defrosting on one level, and shelf
heights 1 + 3 when using two levels

Observe the instructions on the packaging when using frozen
foods.
Defrost
Using defrost setting A you can defrost delicate pastries
particularly well (e.g. cream cakes).

Defrost the frozen food for 25-45 minutes, depending on type

With small quantities (pieces), the defrosting time is shortened
to 15 ­ 20 minutes and the extended defrosting time is shortened
to 10 ­ 15 minutes.

down to 40 °C.

Add 150 g of set yoghurt to the warm milk, stir in and fill the
jars or bowls evenly. Do not pour more than 200 ml into any
single container.

Cover the filled containers with a suitable lid or cling film.
