Defrosting without microwave power
Use the Defrost function to gently
defrost frozen food.
When this function is selected, only the
fan switches on and circulates the air at
room temperature.
Danger of salmonella poisoning!
It is particularly important to observe
food hygiene rules when defrosting
poultry.
Do not use the liquid from the
defrosted poultry. Pour it away, and
wash the tray, the sink and your
hands.
Useful tips
– Place the food to be defrosted on the
glass tray or in a suitable dish.
– Small pieces of poultry can be placed
on an upturned saucer in the glass
tray. This way they will not be lying in
defrosted liquid.
– Meat and poultry need to be fully
defrosted before cooking. Fish, on
the other hand, can be partially
defrosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently soft to
take herbs and seasoning.
– Use shelf level 1 or 2 depending on
the thickness of the food.
