MANUAL DEFROSTING
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves
gently defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great
advantage, if unexpected guests suddenly show up.
Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any
metal ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain
away.
Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any
liquid and remove any giblets as soon as possible.
Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm.
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be
shield by wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during
defrosting.
Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and
allow it to stand for 20 minutes before continuing.
Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting.
The standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the
quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table below.
Hint :
Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities
need less time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while
freezing and defrosting food.
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to -20 °C, use
the following table as a guide.
All frozen food should be defrosted using defrosting power level (180 W).

GRILL
The grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling of the cavity. It
operates while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable’s
rotation makes the food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 3-5 minutes
will make the food brown more quickly.
Cookware for grilling:
Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not
use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt.
Food suitable for grilling:
Chops, sausages, steaks, hamburgers, bacon
and gammon rashers, thin fish portions, sandwiches and all kinds of toast with
toppings.
Important remark:
Whenever the grill only mode is used, please remember
that food must be placed on the high rack, unless another instruction is
recommended.
MIC GRILL
This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with
the speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and
the turntable is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the food browns
evenly. Three combination modes are available with this model: 600 W + Grill,
450 W + Grill and 300 W + Grill.
Cookware for cooking with mic grill:
Please use cookware
that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should be flameproof. Do not
use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any type of plastic
cookware, as it can melt.
