Defrosting
You can defrost frozen food in your appliance.
Tips for defrosting food
¡ You can use the "microwave" mode to defrost
frozen fruit, vegetables, poultry, meat, fish or baked
goods.
¡ Remove frozen food from its packaging before you
defrost it.
¡ Use heat-resistant, microwave-safe cookware.
¡ The recommended settings are for freezer-temperat-
ure food (-18°C).
¡ Defrosting works best if you divide it into more than
one step. The steps are listed one after the other in
the recommended settings tables.
¡ Stir or turn the food 1-2times during defrosting.
Turn large items several times. Split the food into
smaller pieces as it defrosts.
Remove pieces that have already defrosted from the
cooking compartment.
¡ Once the food has defrosted, switch off the appli-
ance and leave the food in the appliance for another
10 to 30minutes to allow the temperature to equal-
ise.

Warming up food using the microwave mode
You can use the microwave mode to warm up food or
to defrost and warm up food in a single step.
Tips for warming up food using the microwave mode
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid.
¡ Turn or stir the food 2-3times during warming.
¡ After warming up the food, leave it to rest for
1-2minutes.
¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-
ware can become very hot.
¡ Make sure that you do the following when you are
warming up baby food:
– Place bottles on the wire rack without the teat or
lid.
– Shake or stir the baby food well after warming it
up.
– Always check the temperature of the baby food.
¡ Wipe the cooking compartment dry after using it to
warm up food.
