General instructions for defrosting
1. When defrosting, use only dishes
that are appropriate for microwaves
(china, glass, suitable plastic).
2. The defrost function by weight and
the tables refer to the defrosting of
raw food.
3. The defrosting time depends on the
quantity and thickness of the food.
When freezing food keep the
defrosting process in mind.
Distribute the food evenly in the
container.
4. Distribute the food as best as
possible inside the oven. The
thickest parts of fish or chicken
drumsticks should be turned
towards the outside. You can
protect the most delicate parts of
food with pieces of aluminium foil.
Important: The aluminium foil must
not come into contact with the oven
cavity interior as this can cause
electrical arcing.
