The defrosting time will depend on the type and quantity of the
food.
Observe the instructions on the packaging.
Take frozen food out of its packaging and place in a suitable
dish on the wire rack.

Desiccation
Use unblemished fruit and vegetables only and wash it
thoroughly.
Drain off the excess water, then wipe it dry.
Insert the universal pan at shelf height 1, insert wire rack at
shelf height 3. Line the universal pan and the wire rack with
greaseproof or parchment paper.
Turn very juicy fruit or vegetables several times. Remove fruit
and vegetables from the paper as soon as they have dried.
Acrylamide in foodstuffs
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products
prepared at high temperatures, such as potato crisps, chips,
toast, bread rolls, bread or fine baked goods (biscuits,
gingerbread, cookies).

Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum when preparing food
General
■ Keep cooking times to a minimum.
■ Cook meals until they are golden brown, but not too dark.
■ Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.
Baking With top/bottom heating max. 200 °C.
With 3D hot air or hot air max.180 °C.
Biscuits With top/bottom heating max. 190 °C.
With 3D hot air or hot air max. 170 °C.
