■
Put the frozen food on shallow tableware, e.g. a glass or
porcelain plate.
■
Cover thin and protruding parts with small pieces of
aluminium foil. This prevents these parts from cooking
prematurely. Ensure that the aluminium foil does not touch
the walls of the cooking compartment.
■
After defrosting, allow the food to defrost for a further 10 to
90 minutes so that it acquires an even temperature.
■
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat, poultry or fish.
Drain off this liquid when you turn the food. Under no
circumstances should it be used for other purposes or be
allowed to come into contact with other foods.
■
Bread should only be defrosted in the required amounts, as it
quickly becomes stale.
■
After turning, remove any minced meat that has already
defrosted.
■
Whole poultry should be placed in the dish breast-side down
and poultry portions skin-side down. Cover legs and wings
with small pieces of aluminium foil.
Boiled potatoes
Note: Cut into equal sized pieces. Add a little salt and a
tablespoon of water for every 100 g of potatoes.
Vegetables
Notes
■
Fresh vegetables: cut into pieces of equal size. Add one
tablespoon of water for every 100 g vegetables.
■
Frozen vegetables: this programme is only suitable for
blanched, not pre-cooked vegetables. It is not suitable for
frozen vegetables in cream sauce. Add 1 to 3 tablespoons of
water. Do not add water to spinach or red cabbage.
Rice
Notes
■
Do not use boil-in-the-bag rice.
■
Add two to two and a half times the amount of water to the
rice.
Fish
Note: Fish fillet, fresh: add 1 to 3 tablespoons of water or
lemon juice.

cooking compartment when it is cold and empty. Only
preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you should do
so. Before using the appliance, remove all accessories from
the cooking compartment that you will not be using.
