1 MEAT 0.1~6.0 lbs. 5-10 min
Shield the edges with aluminium foil. Turn the meat over
when the oven beeps.
This program is suitable for lamb, pork, steaks, chops,
and ground meat. For ground meat, place the meat
directly on the turntable tray on wax paper. Do not use an
extra tray. Let stand, covered with foil, for 5–10 minutes.
2 POULTRY 0.1~6.0 lbs. 30-60 min
Shield the leg and wing tips with aluminium foil. Turn
the poultry over when the oven beeps. This program is
suitable for whole chicken as well as for chicken portions.
3 FISH 0.1~6.0 lbs. 20-60 min
Shield the tail of a whole fish with aluminium foil. Turn
the fish over when the oven beeps. This program is
suitable for whole fish as well as for fish fillets.
4 BREAD 0.1~2.0 lbs 5-20 min
Put bread on a piece of paper towel. Turn over as soon
as the oven beeps. Place cake on a ceramic plate and
if possible, turn over as soon as the oven beeps. (The
oven keeps operating and stops only when you open
the door.) This program is suitable for all kinds of bread,
sliced or whole, as well as for bread rolls and baguettes.
Arrange bread rolls in a circle.
Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let them stand to
continue thawing. Food is not fully defrosted until all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks
with small pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the food has defrosted. Use
narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.
