Defrosting

EN 14
This oven allows you to access two different types of programmes in
the defrost mode.
Automatic defrost programme P1 or P2.
You simply select the type of programme and enter the weight.
• P1: The automatic defrost mode for meat, poultry and ready-made
meals.
• P2: The automatic defrost mode for bread and pastries.
Using your microwave oven to defrost frozen food will save you a lot of
time. To defrost food, use the 'AUTOMATIC DEFROST' function or the
'MICROWAVE' function with the power set at 200 W.
What you need to know
Small pieces of meat or fish can be cooked straight after defrosting.
Larger pieces such as meat joints or whole fish will still be slightly
frozen at the end of the defrost programme.
We recommend that you let the food stand for a period of time at least
equal to the defrosting time to ensure an even temperature.
Food covered with ice crystals will take longer to defrost. In this case,
you should increase the defrosting time.
Tips
• The defrosting time depends on the type of appliance.
It also depends on the shape, size, starting temperature and
quality of the food.
• In most cases, the food must be removed from its packaging.
Remember to remove any metal staples from the packaging.
• Halfway through defrosting, the pieces of food should be turned
over, stirred and separated if they were frozen together.
• If you are defrosting large pieces of meat or fish that prevent
rotation of the turntable, use the turntable stop function. In this
case, turn the food regularly.
