Defrosting
Care must be taken when defrosting food so that the outer parts, which defrost first, do not develop harmful bacteria. Food is generally defrosted in the refrigerator: this is known as slow defrosting.
You can halve the defrosting time by using the oven.
This is suitable for:
-foods to be eaten raw/uncooked (strawberries, etc.),
-foods to be cooked - i.e. a chicken will defrost in half the normal time.
Defrosted foods should be eaten soon after defrosting. Place food to be defrosted on a shelf at level 1.
Turn knob «M» to select the symbol 
.
Note | When the food has defrosted, do not forget to turn |
| knob «M» to «0» to switch off the oven. |
Baking
This mode is particularly suitable for pastries (preparations using baking powder). It helps prevent the dough drying out, and favours rising before the surface becomes golden and crusty, giving beautiful baking results.
We recommend that you preheat the oven. Place your preparation on a shelf at level 1.

Recommended temperature: 160°C. |

Note | Wait until the oven has heated up and the indicator light has gone out before placing the dish in the |
