Defrosting and cooking with the automatic
programmes
Notes
■
Take the food out of its packaging and weigh it. If it is not
possible to enter the exact weight, you should round it up or
down.
■
Always use microwaveable ovenware, e.g. made of glass,
ceramic or the universal pan. Observe the accessories tips in
the programme table.
■
Place the food in the cold cooking compartment.
■
A table of suitable types of food with appropriate weight
ranges and the accessories required can be found in the
section after the tips.
■
It is not possible to set a weight outside the weight range.
■
With many dishes, a signal sounds after a certain time. Turn
or stir the food.
Defrost
Notes
■
If possible, freeze and store food flat and in portions at -
18 °C.
■
Put the frozen food on shallow tableware, e.g. a glass or
porcelain plate.
■
Cover thin and protruding parts with small pieces of
aluminium foil. This prevents these parts from cooking
prematurely. Ensure that the aluminium foil does not touch
the walls of the cooking compartment.
■
After defrosting, allow the food to defrost for a further 10 to
90 minutes so that it acquires an even temperature.
■
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat, poultry or fish.
Drain off this liquid when you turn the food. Under no
circumstances should it be used for other purposes or be
allowed to come into contact with other foods.
■
Place beef, lamb and pork on the ovenware fatty-side down
first.
■
Bread should only be defrosted in the required amounts, as it
quickly becomes stale.
■
After turning, remove any minced meat that has already
defrosted.
■
Whole poultry should be placed in the ovenware breast-side
down and poultry portions skin-side down. Cover legs and
wings with small pieces of aluminium foil.
