Defrost
Gentle defrosting of frozen food means
that the vitamins and minerals are
generally retained.
Use one of the following operating
modes:
- Defrostoperating mode
Set the defrosting temperature.
- Microwaveoperating mode
Set the microwave power level and
defrosting duration.
Always observe USDA/CFIA food
safety guidelines.
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.
Using the Defrostoperating mode
This operating mode was developed to
gently defrost frozen food.
Select Defrost.
Alter the recommended temperature
if necessary.
Air is circulated throughout the oven
cavity to gently defrost the frozen food.
Using the Microwaveoperating mode
Alternatively, you can use the
Microwaveoperating mode for
defrosting. Set the microwave power
level and the defrosting duration.
The time required depends on the
nature of the food, its initial
temperature, and the amount to be
cooked. Take note of the standing
times.
Only use dishware that is microwave
safe.
Select Microwave.
Depending on the type of food, set
the microwave power level and the
defrosting duration specified in the
chart.

the middle duration.
