Defrosting
▯
In the steam oven you can gently and evenly thaw
deep frozen foods faster than at room temperature.
▯
Use the "Defrosting" mode
W
to do this.
▯
The specified thawing times are for your orientation
only. The time it takes to thaw depends on the size
and weight of the frozen food: freeze your foods
flatly or individually. This shortens the thawing time.
▯
Take foods out of the packaging before thawing
them.
▯
Thaw only the amount you immediately need.
▯
Remember: in certain circumstances, thawed food
does not keep so well and goes bad faster then
fresh food. Immediately process thawed food and
cook it thoroughly.
▯
After half of the thawing time, turn meat or fish over
fish or separate fragmentary frozen food such as
berries or bits of meat. Fish need not thaw fully. It
suffices if the surface is soft enough to absorb the
spices.

WARNING
Health risk
When thawing animal foodstuffs, it is imperative
to remove the liquid that arises during thawing. It
must never come into contact with other
foodstuffs. Germs could be transmitted.
Slide the unperforated cooking insert underneath
the food. Pour away the collected thawing liquid
from meat and poultry. Then clean the sink and
rinse with plenty of water. Clean the cooking
insert in hot soapy solution or in a dishwasher.
After defrosting, operate the steam oven for
15 minutes with Convection at 350 °F (approx.
180°C).

in the closed appliance for another 10 - 15 minutes so that they can thaw completely to their interior.
