Defrosting
▯ Set the "Defrosting" mode.
▯ Insert the wire rack with the frozen food in the
second level. Insert the grill tray underneath to
collect the liquid.
▯ Defrost large pieces of meat (roasts, chicken,
etc.) at 45 - 50°C so their exteriors will not start
to cook. You can thaw small or flat pieces at 50 -
55°C.
▯ Remove the packaging before defrosting food.
▯ Defrost only the quantity you need.
▯ Remember: once defrosted, food will not keep for
as long and spoils more quickly than fresh food.
Immediately process thawed food and cook it
thoroughly.
ã Health risk!
When defrosting food from animal sources, you must
remove the liquid that escapes during defrosting. It
must never come into contact with other food.
Bacteria could be transferred.
Insert the grill tray underneath the food. Pour away the
collected thawing liquid from meat and poultry. Then
clean the sink and rinse with plenty of water. Clean the
grill tray in hot soapy solution or in a dishwasher.
After defrosting, operate the oven for 15 minutes
using Hot air at 180°C.
