• DEFROSTING
Defrosting frozen foods in your microwave oven saves you considerable time. To defrost
food, use the
SPEED DEFROST function or the MICROWAVE function power level 200W .
What you need to know:
Small pieces of meat or fish may be cooked immediately after defrosting. It is to be
expected that large pieces such as meat roasts or whole fish will still be slightly frozen.
We recommend leaving them to stand for a period at least equal to the defrosting time
in order to obtain a uniform temperature.
Food covered with ice crystals will take longer to defrost. In this case, you will need to
increase the defrosting time.
Recommendations:
Defrosting time varies according to the type of appliance. It also depends on the shape,
size, initial temperature and quality of the food.
Remember to remove metal fasteners from packaging.
Most foods need to be removed from their packaging.
Halfway through defrosting, the pieces must be turned, mixed or broken apart if they
are stuck together.
If you are defrosting large pieces of meat or fish which prevent the turntable from
revolving, use the stop turntable function. In this case, turn the food regularly.
Defrost meat and fish on an upside down saucer on top of another plate so that the
juice runs off. If it remains in contact with the food, it will begin cooking.
Never refreeze food before cooking it.
Cooking times:
Cooking times are calculated for foods frozen at -18°C. They are given for information
only; they may vary according to the thickness, shape, size and packaging of the
food.
