This function is used
for quick re-
heating of food with a high water
content such as clear soups, cof-
fee or tea.
RAPID START
Press the Start button.
This function automatically starts
with maximum microwave power
level and the cooking time set to 30 seconds.
Each additional press
increases the time with 30 seconds. You may also alter the time by
pressing the +/- buttons to increase or decrease the time after the
function has started.
MANUAL DEFROST
Follow the procedure
for “cook & reheat with mi-
crowaves” and choose power level 160 W when
defrosting manually.
Check and inspect the food regularly.
Experi-
ence will give you the times needed for vari-
ous amounts.
Turn large joints
halfway through the defrost-
ing process.
Frozen food in plastic bags,
plastic films or card-
board packages can be placed directly in the
oven as long as the package has no met-
al parts (e.g. metal twist ties).
The shape of the package
alters the de-
frosting time. Shallow packets defrost
more quickly than a deep block.
Separate pieces
as they begin to defrost.
Individual slices defrost more easily.
Shield areas of food
with small
pieces of aluminum foil if they
start to become warm (e.g.
chicken legs and wing tips).
Boiled food, stews and meat sauces
defrost
better if stirred during defrosting time.
When defrosting
it is better to under-
thaw the food slightly and allow the
process to finish during standing time.
Standing time after defrosting always improves
the result since the temperature
will then be evenly distribut-
ed throughout the food.
