The defrosting function enables any type of food to be defrosted. To start

defrosting, turn the oven function knob to , then a ventilation system will go

into operation to ensure uniform distribution of the ambient temperature inside the oven.

The defrosting time will depend on the quantity of food to be defrosted.

•We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first runner of the oven.

•The food must be defrosted without its wrapping.

•Lay out the foodstuffs to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping.

•When defrosting meat, we recommend using a rack positioned on the second runner with the food on it and a tray positioned on the first runner. In this way, the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food.

•The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminium foil.

•For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of the oven.

•Using the Grill function , meat can be grilled even when it is put into the oven cold; preheating is recommended if you wish to change the effect of the

cooking.

•With the Fan-assisted grill function , however, we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling.

•We recommend placing the food at the centre of the rack.
