Defrosting

The microwave function can be used to defrost food gently and quickly.

The following settings are recommended as a general guide:

80 W

for defrosting very delicate food, e.g. cream, butter, gateau and cheese.

150 W

for defrosting everything else.

See the chart on the next page for defrosting durations.

^Remove the food from its packaging and place it in a microwave-safe container.

^Place the container centrally on the glass tray and slide into the lowest shelf level.

If defrosting a large quantity, e.g. 2 kg of fish, you can place the food directly on the glass tray and then slide it into the lowest shelf level.

Turn, stir or separate the food about half-way through the defrosting time.

After defrosting

Allow the food to stand at room temperature long enough to allow the temperature to spread evenly throughout the food.
