Defrosting
You can defrost frozen food in your appliance.
Tips for defrosting food
¡
You can use the "microwave" mode to defrost
frozen fruit, vegetables, poultry, meat, fish or baked
goods.
¡
Remove frozen food from its packaging before you
defrost it.
¡
Use heat-resistant, microwave-safe cookware.
¡
The recommended settings are for freezer-temperat-
ure food (-18 °C).
¡
Defrosting works best if you divide it into more than
one step. The steps are listed one after the other in
the recommended settings tables.
¡
Stir or turn the food 1-2 times during defrosting.
Turn large items several times. Split the food into
smaller pieces as it defrosts.
Remove pieces that have already defrosted from the
cooking compartment.
¡
Once the food has defrosted, switch off the appli-
ance and leave the food in the appliance for another
10 to 30 minutes to allow the temperature to equal-
ise.
