Defrosting meat, poultry, fish
• Put frozen, unwrapped food on a
small angled plate with a container
below so that the defrosting liquid
collects in the container.
• Turn the food halfway through the
defrosting time. If possible, separate
and then remove the pieces that
started to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark
• Do not fully defrost the food in the
appliance, but let it defrost at room
temperature. It gives a more even
result. Remove all metal or aluminium
packaging before defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables
• If fruit and vegetables should remain
raw, do not defrost them fully in the
appliance. Let them defrost at room
temperature.
• To cook fruit and vegetables without
defrosting them first use a higher
microwave power.
Ready meals
• You can prepare ready meals in the
appliance only if their packaging is
suitable for microwave use.
• You must follow the manufacturer's
instructions printed on the packaging
(e.g. remove the metal cover and
pierce the plastic film).
