Defrosting
▯
For this, use the "defrost" heating function.
▯
The defrost values specified are intended as a
guide. The defrost time depends on the size,
weight, and shape of the food to be defrosted:
freeze your foods flat or separately. This shortens
the defrost time.
▯
Slide the wire rack with the frozen food into the
second shelf level (in the third shelf level if there
are five shelf levels). Slide the grill tray underneath
to catch any excess liquid.
▯
Remove the food from the packaging before
defrosting.
▯
Only defrost the quantity that you need right away.
▯
Please consider: defrosted food will not last as long
as frozen food and will spoil more quickly than fresh
food. Prepare defrosted food immediately and cook
it thoroughly.
▯
After half the defrost time has elapsed, turn the
meat or fish. Separate defrosted food in pieces,

Add balancing time: switch appliance off after the defrost time has elapsed and leave the food in the closed appliance for 10 -
15 minutes so that it defrosts all the way to the center.

e.g. berries or pieces of meat. Fish does not have to
defrost all the way; it is sufficient if the surface is
soft enough to take up the spices.
▯
The oven is not suited for defrosting whole
chickens and roasts; this takes a long time. It is
much faster to defrost such foods in the steam
oven.

WARNING
Health risk
When defrosting food from animal sources, you
must remove the liquid that escapes during
defrosting. It must never come into contact with
other food. Bacteria could be transferred.
Slide the glass/grill tray under the food. Pour
away the excess liquid collected from the meat
and poultry. Then clean the sink and rinse with
plenty of water. Clean the glass/grill tray in hot
soapy water or in the dishwasher.
After defrosting, operate the oven for 15 minutes
using Hot air at 355°F (180°C).

The defrosting time depends on the por-
tioning. Small vegetables such as peas
and beans defrost faster than blocks of
spinach or whole cauliflower.
