15.2 Defrosting
With your appliance you can defrost frozen food.
Defrosting food
1. Place the frozen food in an open container on the
turntable.
Delicate parts, such as the legs and wings of
chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts, can be
covered with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil
must not touch the sides of the cooking compart-
ment.
2. Start the operation.
You can remove the foil halfway through the defrost-
ing time.
3. Note:Liquid is produced when you defrost meat
and poultry.
Drain off any liquid when turning and under no cir-
cumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to
come into contact with other foods.
4. Redistribute the food or turn it once or twice as it
defrosts.
Turn large pieces of food several times.
5. To even out the temperature, leave the defrosted
food to stand at room temperature for approx. 10–
20 minutes.
You can remove the giblets from poultry at this
point. You can continue to cook the meat even if a
small section of it is still frozen in the centre.
Defrosting with the microwave
Observe the recommended settings for using the microwave to defrost frozen food.

Heating food
WARNING‒Risk of burns!
Heated food gives off heat. The cookware may become
hot.
▶Always use oven gloves to remove cookware or ac-
cessories from the cooking compartment.
WARNING‒Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is
heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling tem-
perature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the
surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little, the
hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter.
▶Always place a spoon in the container when heating
liquids. This will prevent delayed boiling.
ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment
will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.
▶Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
2cm from the cooking compartment walls and the
inside of the door.
1. Take ready meals out of the packaging and place in
microwave-safe cookware.
2. Distribute the food flat in the cookware.
3. Cover the food with a suitable lid, a plate or special
microwave foil.
4. Start the operation.
5. Turn or stir the food several times during cooking.
The speed at which different components of the
meal heat up may vary.
6. Check the temperature.
7. To even out the temperature, leave the heated food
to stand at room temperature for approx. 2–5
minutes.
