• Defrost a product packed in a plastic container until it is possible to remove it from
the container, then place it on a dish that is designed for use in a microwave oven.
• The maximum defrosting time is 45 minutes. After the set time has expired, a signal
will sound 4 times and the display will read „END“.
• Before activating another cooking program, remove the „END“ communiqué by
pressing Stop/Reset
or opening the door.
• While defrosting proceed in accordance with the following instruction:
 Covering
Food products should be covered, in order to:
o quicken their heating,
o avoid drying out,
o avoid splattering of grease in the cooking chamber,
Exceptions: bread, baked goods, breaded food products and products which are
supposed to be crunchy should not be covered.
 Turning over / mixing
Practically all food products should turned over and/or mixed at least once during
defrosting. Sticky pieces of food should be separated as quickly as is possible.
 Smaller portions
Smaller portions defrost more evenly and quicker than larger ones. For this reason,
divide food products into smaller pieces prior to defrosting. An entire meal can thus be
quickly and easily prepared.
 Delicate foods
Delicate foods such as pate / cakes, cream, cheese or bread should be only partially
defrosted, and the defrosting process should be finished at room temperature. In this
manner you will avoid a situation where the food is too hot on the outside while still
frozen on the inside.
 Leaving dishes out
The time for leaving dishes out following defrosting is very important, as it guarantees
continuation of the defrosting process. After defrosting, the defrosted food product
should be cooked as soon as possible. Do not re-freeze defrosted food products.
