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, 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.
9 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).
