MANUAL DEFROST
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE for “Cook & Reheat with mi-
crowaves” and choose power level 160 W when de-
frosting manually.
CHECK AND INSPECT THE FOOD REGULARLY. Experien-
ce will give you the times needed for various
amounts.
TURN LARGE JOINTS halfway through the defrosting
process.
FROZEN FOOD IN PLASTIC BAGS, plastic films or
cardboard packages can be placed directly in the
oven as long as the package has no metal
parts (e.g. metal twist ties).
THE SHAPE OF THE PACKAGE alters the de-
frosting time. Shallow packets defrost
more quickly than a deep block.
SEPARATE PIECES as they begin to defrost.
Individual slices defrost more easily.
SHIELD AREAS OF FOOD with small
pieces of aluminum foil if they
start to become warm (e.g.
chicken legs and wing tips).
BOILED FOOD, STEWS AND MEAT SAUCES defrost
better if stirred during defrosting time.
WHEN DEFROSTING it is better to under-thaw
the food slightly and allow the process to
finish during standing time.
STANDING TIME AFTER DEFROSTING ALWAYS IMPROVES
the result since the temperature
will then be evenly distributed
throughout the food.
