JET START
| THIS FUNCTION IS USED for quick re- |
| heating of food with a high water |
| content such as clear soups, cof- |
fee or tea. |
PRESS THE START BUTTON.
THIS FUNCTION AUTOMATICALLY STARTS with maximum microwave power
level and the cooking time set to 30 seconds. Each additional press increases the time with 30 seconds. You may also alter the time by pressing the +/- buttons to increase or decrease the time after the function has started.
MANUAL DEFROST
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE for “cook & reheat with mi- crowaves” and choose power level 160 W when defrosting manually.
FROZEN FOOD IN PLASTIC BAGS, plastic films or card-
board packages can be placed directly in the oven as long as the package has no met-
al parts (e.g. metal twist ties).
THE SHAPE OF THE PACKAGE alters the de-
frosting time. Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.
SEPARATE PIECES as they begin to defrost. Individual slices defrost more easily.
SHIELD AREAS OF FOOD with small
pieces of aluminum foil if they start to become warm (e.g. chicken legs and wing tips).
CHECK AND INSPECT THE FOOD REGULARLY. Experi-
ence will give you the times needed for vari- ous amounts.
TURN LARGE JOINTS halfway through the defrost- ing process.
BOILED FOOD, STEWS AND MEAT SAUCES defrost
better if stirred during defrosting time.
WHEN DEFROSTING it is better to under- thaw the food slightly and allow the
process to finish during standing time.
STANDING TIME AFTER DEFROSTING ALWAYS IMPROVES
the result since the temperature 
will then be evenly distribut- 
ed throughout the food.
