How it works

49
¡
Remove frozen food from its packaging before you
defrost it.
¡
Use heat-resistant, microwave-safe cookware.
¡
The recommended settings are for freezer-temperat-
ure food (-18 °C).
¡
Defrosting works best if you divide it into more than
one step. The steps are listed one after the other in
the recommended settings tables.
¡
Stir or turn the food 1-2 times during defrosting.
Turn large items several times. Split the food into
smaller pieces as it defrosts.
Remove pieces that have already defrosted from the
cooking compartment.
¡
Once the food has defrosted, switch off the appli-
ance and leave the food in the appliance for another
10 to 30 minutes to allow the temperature to equal-
ise.

Warming up and reheating food
Your appliance offers you various ways of warming up
or reheating food. The microwave mode heats food
and drinks incredibly quickly. Steam-assisted reheating
can be used to gently heat your food and have it look-
ing as though it has been freshly cooked.
Warming up food using the microwave mode
¡
Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid.
¡
Turn or stir the food 2-3 times during warming.
¡
After warming up the food, leave it to rest for
1-2 minutes.
¡
The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-
ware can become very hot.
¡
Make sure that you do the following when you are
warming up baby food:
– Place bottles on the wire rack without the teat or
lid.
– Shake or stir the baby food well after warming it
up.
– Always check the temperature of the baby food.
¡
Wipe the cooking compartment dry after using it to
warm up food.
WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is
heated. This means that the liquid reaches the boiling
temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to
the surface. Exercise caution even when only gently
shaking the container. The hot liquid may suddenly boil
over and splatter.
▶
Always place a spoon in the container when heating
liquids. This prevents delayed boiling.
