Defrosting Guidelines

Tips for Defrosting

Check the defrosting several times, even if you use the auto programs� Observe the standing times�

Standing Times

Individual portions of food may be cooked almost immediately after defrosting� It is normal for large portions of food to be frozen in the centre� Before cooking, allow to stand for a minimum of one hour. During this standing time, the temperature becomes evenly distributed and the food is defrosted by conduction� N�B� If the food is not going to be cooked immediately, store it in the refrigerator� Never refreeze defrosted

food without rst cooking it.

Joints and Poultry

It is preferable to place the joints on an upturned plate or plastic rack so that they are not resting in the juices� It is essential to protect delicate or projecting parts of this food with small pieces of foil to prevent these parts from cooking� It is not

dangerous to use small pieces of foil in your oven, provided they do not come into contact with the oven walls.

Bread

Loaves will require a standing time of 5-30 minutes to allow the centre to thaw� Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated and rolls and loaves cut in half�

Beep Sounds

Beeps will sound during the Turbo defrost programs� The beeps are to remind you to check, stir, separate the pieces, or shield small parts� Failure to do this may result in uneven defrosting�

18 EN

Minced Meat or Cubes of Meat and Seafood

Since the outside of these foods quickly defrosts, it is necessary to separate them, break the blocks into pieces frequently while defrosting and remove them when they have defrosted�

Small Portions of Food

Chops and chicken pieces must be separated as soon as possible so that they defrost evenly throughout� Fatty parts and the ends defrost more quickly� Place them near the centre of the turntable or protect them with small pieces of foil�

Function Accessory to Use Concept Instructions

Crispy

grill

Steam

Crispy pot

Steam plus pot

(crispy pot, steam

tray and lid)

Some foods cooked by microwave can have soft and soggy crusts� The crispy pot accessory will brown and crisp pizzas, quiches, pies, breaded products just as a conventional oven� The crispy pot works in three ways: heating the crispy pot by absorbing microwaves, heating the food directly by microwaves and heating the food by the grill� The base of the crispy pot absorbs the microwaves and transfers them into heat� Then the heat is conducted through the crispy pot to the food� The heating effect is maximised by the non-stick surface�

The Steam Plus accessories are suitable for steaming vegetables,

potatoes, sh llets, whole sh, chicken llets. Microwaves are

absorbed by the base of the crispy pot which heats the water inside� This creates steam which cooks the food�

For best results, pre-heat the crispy pot before using� Place directly on the glass tray and pre-heat on Microwave 1000 W power for 3 minutes� To assist browning, brush the pan with oil before preheating for items such as sausages and cordon bleu� Remove the crispy pot from the oven and place the food in the crispy pot� Use oven gloves as the crispy pot will be very hot� For best results, it is important that the food is placed on the crispy pot immediately after preheating� Performance cannot be guaranteed with a time delay� Please refer to cooking chart on page 37�

Pour 150 ml tap water into the crispy pot and place the steam tray inside� Place food directly on the steam tray� Cover with lid and place directly on the glass tray� Please refer to cooking chart on page 37�

Fry

Simmer

Crispy pot and lid

The crispy pot is used together with the lid� Suitable foods such

as, sh llets, chicken pieces,

burgers are placed directly on the crispy pot� The food is cooked from the heat of the base of the pan� The bottom side of the food will be brown and crisp�

The crispy pot is used together with the lid� It is suitable for simmering risotto, seafood pot, meat or vegetable stews or soups� The food is cooked from the heat of the base of the pan�

Place the food directly on the crispy pot, cover with the lid and place on the glass tray� It is not necessary to pre-heat� If required, turn or rearrange the food during cooking� Please refer to cooking chart on page 37�

Place the food directly in the crispy pot, cover with the lid and place on the glass tray� It is not necessary to pre-heat� If required, stir during cooking� Please refer to recipes on page 38�

Using the Steam Plus Pot

Care of the Steam Plus Pot

1� Never cut pizzas, quiches or any other

food directly in the crispy pot as this will damage the non-stick surface�

2� After use, wash the Steam Plus Pot in

hot soapy water and rinse in hot water� Do not use any abrasive cleaning substances or scouring pads as this will damage the surface of the crispy pot�

3� The Steam Plus Pot is dishwasher

safe�

Note

1� For crispy grill mode, do not pre-heat the crispy pot for more than 5 minutes� 2� Always place the crispy pot in the centre of the glass tray and ensure it does not

touch the wall of the oven cavity� Failure to do so, may cause sparking which would

damage the cavity� 3� Always use the crispy pot on the glass tray� Do not use with the wire rack� 4� Always use oven gloves when handling the accessories� 5� Ensure all food packaging is removed before cooking� 6� Do not place any heat-sensitive materials on the hot crispy pot as this may cause burning� 7� Do not use the Steam Plus Pot in any other microwave ovens and do not use in

conventional ovens� 8� Do not use the steam tray and the lid on their own� 9� For best results in crispy grill mode, use the crispy pot in combination grill and

microwave� Only Microwave mode (1000 W power) can be used for preheating the

crispy pot�

Caution!

Always use oven gloves when removing accessories� Always use lid when you using steam, fry, or simmering functions� After cooking, do not open lid when your face is very close to the accessory as steam may cause injury�
