Defrosting - Miele H 348 B2 Operating Instructions Manual

Defrosting

To defrost select "Fan heat D" with a
temperature setting of up to a maximum
of 50 °C.
For defrosting meat and delicate foods
do not set a temperature. The fan on
the rear wall will then circulate cool air
(at room temperature) around the oven.
Please note:
– Where possible remove the
packaging and put the food to be
defrosted on a baking tray or into a
dish.
– All meat and poultry should be fully
defrosted before cooking. Do not use
the liquids from defrosting.
– When defrosting poultry put it on the
rack over the grill pan to catch the
defrosted liquid, so that the meat is
not lying in this liquid.
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. Danger of salmonella.
– Fish does not need to be fully
defrosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently thawed
to take herbs and seasoning.

Do not refreeze food once it has
thawed.
The time needed for defrosting
depends on the type and weight of the
food, and at what temperature it was
deep frozen.
