Defrost
Gentle defrosting of frozen goods
means that the vitamins and minerals
are generally retained.
 Select Defrost.
 Alter the recommended temperature
if necessary.
Air is circulated throughout the oven
compartment to gently defrost the
frozen food.
 Risk of infection from bacteria.
Bacteria such as salmonella can
cause life-threatening food
poisoning.
It is particularly important to observe
food hygiene rules when defrosting
fish and meat, and in particular when
defrosting poultry.
Do not use the liquid produced
during defrosting.
Process the food as required as soon
as it has been defrosted.
Useful tips
– Remove the packaging and place the
frozen goods on the universal tray or
in a suitable bowl or dish.
– Use the universal tray with the rack
placed on top of it for defrosting
poultry. This way the frozen food will
not be lying in the defrosting liquid.
– Meat and poultry need to be fully
defrosted before cooking. Fish, on
the other hand, can be partially
defrosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently soft to
take herbs and seasoning.
