5. Thick portions of food should be turned
several times.
6. Distribute the frozen food as evenly as
possible since narrow and thin portions
defrost more quickly than the thicker and
broader parts.
7. Fat-rich foods such as butter, cream
cheese and cream should not be
completely defrosted. If they are kept at
room temperature they will be ready to
be served in a few minutes. With ultra-
frozen cream, if you find small pieces of
ice in it, you should mix these in before
serving.
8. Place poultry on an upturned plate so that
the meat juices can run off more easily.
9. Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so
that it does not become too dry.
10. Turn the food whenever the oven lets out
a beep and the display flashes the word:
11. Remove frozen food from its wrapping
and do not forget to take off any metal
twist-tags. For containers that are used to
keep frozen food in the freezer and which
can also be used for heating and cooking,
all you need to do is take off the lid. For
all other cases you should put the food
into containers that are suitable for
microwave use.
12. The liquid resulting from defrosting,
principally that from poultry, should be
discarded. In no event should such liquids
be allowed to come into contact with
other foods.
13. Do not forget that by using the defrosting
function you need to allow for standing
time until the food is completely
defrosted.
Grill
For good results with the grill, use the
rectangular rack supplied with the oven.
Important points
1. When the microwave grill is used for the
first time there will be some smoke and a
smell coming from the oils used during
oven manufacture.
2. The oven door window becomes very hot
when the grill is working. Keep children
away.
3. When the grill is operating, the cavity walls
and the rectangular rack become very hot.
You should use oven gloves.
4. If the grill is used for extended period of
time it is normal to find that the elements
will switch themselves off temporarily due
to the safety thermostat.
5. Important! When food is to be grilled
or cooked in containers you must check
that the container in question is suitable
for microwave use. See the section on
types of ovenware!
6. When the grill is used it is possible that
some splashes of fat may go onto the
elements and be burnt. This is a normal
situation and does not mean there is any
kind of operating fault.
7. After you have finished cooking, clean the
interior and the accessories so that
cooking remains do not become
encrusted.
Heat up the grill beforehand for 2 minutes.
Unless indicated otherwise, use the
rectangular rack.
Place the grid on a bowl so that the water and
the fat can drop. The times shown are merely
indicative and can vary as a function of the
composition and quantity of the food, as well
as the final condition wished for. Fish and meat
taste great if, before grilling, you brush them
with vegetable oil, spices and herbs and leave
to marinate for a few hours. Only add salt after
grilling.
Sausages will not burst if you prick them with
a fork before grilling.
