Defrosting

Use the Defrost # operating mode to defrost food.

Defrosting Dishes

  • Remove the dish from its packaging, put it on a plate and place the plate on the wire grill.

  • Do not cover the dish with a plate or bowl, as this can considerably extend the defrosting time.

  • Do not use the liquid produced during defrosting for cooking the dish to avoid the risk of salmonella. Ensure that the liquid produced during defrosting is free to run off the food onto the plate or a baking pan if using the wire grill.

Oven Rack Position

For defrosting, use the wire grill on rack position A or B for larger dishes.
