Defrosting with CircoTherm®
Use 3 CircoTherm® to defrost and cook frozen products.
Notes
■
Frozen products that have been defrosted (meat in particular)
require shorter cooking times than fresh products
■
The cooking time for frozen meat increases by the defrosting
time
■
Always defrost frozen poultry before cooking so that you can
remove the giblets
■
Cook frozen fish at the same temperatures as fresh fish
■
You can place large quantities of ready made frozen
vegetables in aluminium dishes in the cooking compartment
at the same time
■
Use shelf height 1 when defrosting on one level, and shelf
heights 1 + 3 when using two levels
■
Observe the instructions on the packaging when using frozen
foods.
Defrost
Using defrost setting A you can defrost delicate pastries
particularly well (e.g. cream cakes).
1. Switch on the A Defrost operating mode.
2. Defrost the frozen food for 25-45 minutes, depending on type
and size.
3. Remove the frozen food from the cooking compartment and
let it thaw for 30 - 45 minutes.
With small quantities (pieces), the defrosting time is shortened
to 15­20 minutes and the extended defrosting time is shortened
to 10­15 minutes.
