Defrosting
Use the defrost oven function for defrosting.
Dishes for defrosting
• Put the food on a plate and put the plate on the shelf unit.
• Use only parchment paper or suitable cling film to cover the food. Do
not cover with a plate or bowl as these considerably prolong the
defrosting time.
Shelf positions
• To defrost, insert the shelf unit in the 1st shelf position from the
bottom.
