Recommendations for Defrosting Food
The defrost function works by means of a
2-level system of hot air. HI is for meats in
general and LO is for fish, cakes, pastries and
bread. When selecting the defrost function,
select HI or LO on the temperature display by
pressing on the temperature sensor
and
then the
or
sensors.
•
Unpackaged food should be placed on the
oven tray or on a dish.
•
Defrost large pieces of meat or fish by
placing them over the grid with a tray
underneath to collect any liquid.
•
Meat and fish do not need to be completely
thawed before cooking. Condiments can be
added once the surface is soft.
•
Food should always be cooked after
defrosting.
•
Do not refreeze defrosted food.
See the following chart for defrosting times and temperature levels:
The times shown in the chart are a guide. The time needed for defrosting will depend on the
temperature of the room, weight of the food and how frozen it is.
