Miele H 310, H 326, H 316, H 320 manual Defrosting, Do not refreeze food once it has thawed

Defrosting

You can also use the oven for defrost- ing.

To defrost select "Fan heat D" with a temperature setting of up to a maxi- mum of 50 °C.

For defrosting meat and delicate foods do not set a temperature. The fan on the rear wall will then circulate cool air (at room temperature) around the oven.

Please note:

–Where possible remove the packa- ging and put the food to be de- frosted on a baking tray or into a dish.

–All meat and poultry should be fully defrosted before cooking. Do not use the liquids from defrosting.

–When defrosting poultry put it on the rack over the grill pan / oven tray to catch the defrosted liquid, so that the meat is not lying in this liquid.

It is particularly important to ob- serve food hygiene rules when de- frosting poultry. Do not use the liq- uid from the defrosted poultry. Pour it away, and wash the tray, the sink and your hands.

–Fish does not need to be fully de- frosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently soft to take herbs and seasoning.

Do not refreeze food once it has thawed.

The time needed for defrosting de- pends on the type and weight of the food, and at what temperature it was deep frozen.
