Defrost

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.

The appropriate automatic programmes are ideal for defrosting.

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.

Important when using an automatic programme for defrosting:

When defrosting a large amount of food which has been wrapped in individual portions, enter a lower total weight than the actual total weight.

This will give a more even result. Example:

1.5kg sliced steak packed into 3 individual 500 g portions Enter weight as: 1000 g instead of 1500 g

Turn, stir or separate the food about half-way through the defrosting time. The automatic programme has an audible tone which sounds as a reminder.

After defrosting

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