remaining will begin blinking on the display. To continue the defrosting, close the door again and push

- if the oven door is open, push the "STOP CANCEL" button (10) once;
- if the oven is operating, push the "STOP CANCEL" button (10) twice;
- If the oven is turned off and its door closed, push the "STOP CANCEL" button (10) once.

• Foods frozen in bags or plastic sheeting or in their packaging may be placed directly in the oven,
as long as they have no metal parts (e.g., bands or closure rivets).
• Certain foods, such as greens, vegetables and fish, do not have to be defrosted before you begin
cooking them.
• Stewed foods and meats as well as meat sauces defrost better and quicker if they are stirred from
time to time, turned over or croken cup.
• While defrosting, meat and fish lose their liquid content. It is recommended, therefore, that you
defrost such items in a tray or basin.
• It is advisable to separate each individual piece of meat from its bag before putting it in the
freezer. This will help you save valuable time will preparing foods.
• Be careful about following the timings printed on frozen products, because they are and may not
always be correct. It is best to use defrosting times slightly less than those indicated. The time
needed for defrosting will vary in terms of the degree to which the food has been frozen.
