IMPORTANT NOTES:
- In the Defrost by Weight function, the introduced weight is that of the food alone, not including the
dish.
- Use the Defrost by Weight function only for raw food.
- This function has better results if the food is at a temperature of –18°C and if the food is taken
directly from the freezer to the oven.
- If the food is at a higher temperature (either because it isn't a 3 star freezer or because the food
has been out of the freezer for more than 20 minutes) the oven calculated time will be more and
there may be a risk of fire. In these cases, select a weight which is lower than the real food
weight.
- In the cases above and when the food is already cooked and frozen, use the Defrost by Time
function, starting with short periods of time.
- When you use tin foil to protect the thinner parts of the food, make sure that it doesn't touch the
oven walls, otherwise there may be damages.
