that the vitamins and minerals are
generally retained.
 Use one of the following operating
modes and Special Modes:

the 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.
Tips
- Place the food to be defrosted on the
glass tray without its packaging.
- For defrosting poultry, use the glass
tray with the wire rack placed on top
of it. This way the frozen food will not
be lying in the defrosted liquid.
- Meat, poultry, or fish does not need
to be fully defrosted before cooking.
Defrost until the food has started to
thaw. The surface will then be
sufficiently thawed to take herbs and
seasoning.
