¡ 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.

up.

¡ Wipe the cooking compartment dry after using it to
warm up food.
