WARNING: When you finish using the oven, always turn the Timer knob to zero, because otherwise the oven will start to function when you close the door and may be damaged if it functions when empty. 29 Defrosting The following table is a general guideline for the various defrosting and resting times required (to guarantee that the food reaches a uniform temperature) Power 280 W 150 W Food Pieces of meat, veal, beef, pork Weight 100 g 200 g 500 g 700 g 1000 g 1500 g 500 g 1000 g 100 g 300 g 500 g 125 g 250 g 500 g 200 g 500 g 1000 g 1200 g 1500 g 100 g 200 g 200 g 100 g 500 g 200 g 300 g 500 g 100 g 200 g 500 g 800 g 250 g 250 g 250 g EN according to the type and weight of the foods.

Only use microwave-safe dishes for defrosting (porcelain, glass, suitable plastic). The defrosting time depends on the quantity and the height of the food. The thickest parts of the fish or the chicken legs should be placed on top. Important: the aluminium foil should not come in contact with the walls of the cavity, as this could cause an electrical arch. Distribute the frozen food in the most uniform manner possible, because the thin, narrow parts defrost fast than the thickest parts at the top. Foods that are rich in fats, such as butter, cottage cheese and cream, should not be entirely defrosted. If they are at room temperature, they will be ready to serve within a few minutes. In the case of deep-frozen cream, if there are little bits of ice, the cream should be whipped before eating. Place poultry on a turn over plate so that the juices may drain more easily. Remove frozen foods from its packaging and do not forget to remove any metal clips. If the containers that are used to keep the foods in the freezer may also be used for heating and cooking, just remove the lid. Otherwise, place the foods in containers that are suitable for microwave ovens. The liquid that results in the defrosting process, particularly in the case of poultry, should be discarded and under no circumstances should it come in contact with other foods. Bear in mind that a resting period is required in defrosting function, so that the food is totally defrosted. This normally takes between 15 to 20 minutes. 31 Cooking with microwaves Before using a container, check if it is suitable for using in a microwave oven (see: “What kind of containers may be used?”). When heating liquids, use containers with a large neck, so that the steam may evaporate easily. Prepare foods according to the tips and pay attention to the cooking times and power levels indicated in the tables. Remember that the values given are merely a guideline and that they may vary depending on the initial state, temperature, humidity and type of food. We recommend that the times and power levels be adjusted to each situation.
