2.6 - DEFROSTING FUNCTION

1 Select the DEFROSTING func- tion by pressing the PRO- GRAM button (7) until the DEFROST indicator light (14) will be illuminated.

The display will show the

message .

2 Press the TIMER button (9).

The display will show 1:00.

3 Set the time (max 3 hours) by pressing the “-” (12) and “+” (18) buttons. Keep the button pressed for more than 2 sec- onds to quickly scroll the time up or down. For each press of the button the time will increase or decrease by one 1 minute.

4 Press the START button (17). As you press START, time selected is reduced of 1 minute. The oven will start the count- down. At the end of the set time the control will emit 4 beeps and the display will return to stand-by (showing the time of the day, if previ- ously set).

•If the defrosting time is not set, (skipping points 2 and 3) the display will show the countdown starting from the default duration of 1:00 (1 hour).

•The set time can be modified during cooking by simply repeating points 2 and 3. The countdown will automatically restart 3 seconds after the final setting.

•If the START button (17) is not pressed within 3 minutes from the previous setting, the control will return to stand-by.

Put the frozen food directly on the WIRE RACK (I) inserted in slot 2. Put the SHALLOW PAN (H) in slot 3 in order to catch the water dropping from the load during the defrosting process (see page 6).

Portions and pieces of raw meat, poultry and fish, frozen soups, pastry, fruit or leftovers will thaw more quickly on this setting than on a counter or in the refrigerator.

Thaw only pieces or portions small enough to thaw in an hour or less and do not let food come to room temperature.

Thawed food held too long or at a warm temperature can cause serious illenss. Large amounts of food should be defrosted in a refrigerator.
