Thawing
In the steam oven you can gently and evenly thaw
deep frozen foods faster than at room
temperature.
Use the "Defrosting" mode W to do this.
The specified thawing times are for your
orientation only. The time it takes to thaw
depends on the size and weight of the frozen
food: freeze your foods flatly or individually. This
shortens the thawing time.
Take foods out of the packaging before thawing
them.
Thaw only the amount you immediately need.
Remember: in certain circumstances, thawed
food does not keep so well and goes bad faster
then fresh food. Immediately process thawed food
and cook it thoroughly.
After half of the thawing time, turn meat or fish
over fish or separate fragmentary frozen food
such as berries or bits of meat. Fish need not
thaw fully. It suffices if the surface is soft enough
to absorb the spices.
9 WARNING
Health risk
When thawing animal foodstuffs, it is imperative
to remove the liquid that arises during thawing.
It must never come into contact with other
foodstuffs. Germs could be transmitted.
Slide the unperforated cooking insert
underneath the food. Pour away the collected
thawing liquid from meat and poultry. Then
clean the sink and rinse with plenty of water.
Clean the cooking insert in hot soapy solution
or in a dishwasher.
After defrosting, operate the steam oven for
15 minutes with Convection at 350 °F (approx.
180°C).

in the closed appliance for another 10 - 15 minutes so that they can thaw completely to their interior.
