Specialty Functions - Steam Defrost
Use the Steam Defrost function for defrosting food such as
meat, poultry, vegetables, bread and fruit.
■ Food should be cooked immediately after the defrost/
standing time is completed.
■ When defrosting, it is better to slightly underthaw the food
and allow the process to nish during standing time.
■ Adding standing time after defrosting always improves
the results, as the temperature will be evenly distributed
throughout the food.
■ Wrap bread to keep it from becoming soggy.
■ Place foods, such as meat and sh, in the oven without
packaging or wrapping on the steam tray on rack position
3. Place the baking/drip tray beneath it on rack position 1 to
collect the thawing water.
■ Turn food halfway through defrosting, and rearrange and
separate already thawed pieces.
IMPORTANT: At the end of the defrost cycle, make sure to
empty the water tank and return it to its compartment before
closing the oven door.
