Refreshing (warming up)
▯ The combi-steam oven creates the perfect
environment for reheating cooked food without drying
it out. The flavour and quality are virtually
indistinguishable from food that has been freshly
prepared.
▯ To use this function, select "Reheat" mode d.
▯ Do not cover the food. Do not use aluminium foil or
clingfilm.
▯ The figures listed are for portions for one person.
Larger quantities of food can also be warmed up in
the unperforated cooking insert; you will need to cook
the food for longer than the times specified in the
table.
Defrosting
▯ In the steam oven you can gently and evenly thaw deep
frozen foods faster than at in the fridge or microwave.
▯ Use the "Defrosting" mode W to do this.
▯ With this mode preheating is not necessary.
▯ The specified thawing times are for your orientation
only. The time it takes to thaw depends on the size and
weight of the frozen food: freeze your foods flatly or
individually. This shortens the thawing time.
▯ Take foods out of the packaging before thawing them.
▯ Thaw only the amount you immediately need.
▯ Remember: in certain circumstances, thawed food
does not keep so well and goes bad faster then fresh
food. Immediately process thawed food and cook it
thoroughly.
▯ After half of the thawing time, turn meat or fish over
fish or separate fragmentary frozen food such as
berries or bits of meat. Fish need not thaw fully. It
suffices if the surface is soft enough to absorb the
spices.
9 WARNING
Health risk!
When thawing animal foodstuffs, it is imperative to
remove the liquid that arises during thawing. It
must never come into contact with other foodstuffs.
Germs could be transmitted.
Slide the unperforated cooking insert underneath
the food. Pour away the collected thawing liquid
from meat and poultry. Then clean the sink and
rinse with plenty of water. Clean the cooking insert
in hot soapy solution or in a dishwasher.
After defrosting, operate the steam oven for
15 minutes with Convection at 350 °F (180°C).
