Defrosting
The defrost setting is suitable for defrosting frozen fruit,
vegetables and baked items. Poultry, meat and fish
should ideally be defrosted in the refrigerator.
Use the following shelf positions when defrosting:
■
1 wire rack: Level 2
■
2 wire racks: Level 3+1
Recommended setting values
The times in the table are average values. They are
dependent on the quality, freezing temperature (-18 °C)
and composition of the food. Time ranges are indicated.
Set the shortest time first and then extend the time if
necessary.
Tip:
Items which were frozen flat or portioned defrost
faster than those frozen in a block.
Remove frozen food from the packaging and place it in
suitable cookware onto the wire rack.
Stir the food or turn it once or twice in between. Large
pieces of food should be turned several times.
Occasionally split the food or remove items which have
already defrosted from the cooking compartment.
Leave the defrosted food to rest for another 10 to 30
minutes in the appliance whilst it is switched off, so that
the temperature balances out.
