Defrosting fruit, vegetables:
• If fruit and vegetables should remain
raw, do not defrost them fully in the
appliance but let them defrost
completely at a room temperature.
• To cook fruit and vegetables without
defrosting them first, you can use a
higher microwave power.
Ready meals:
• Ready meals in metal packaging or
plastic trays with metal covers can only
be defrosted or heated in the microwave
if they are expressively designated as
suitable for use in the microwave.
• You must follow the manufacturer's
instructions printed on the packaging
(e.g. remove the metal cover and pierce
the plastic film).
