When defrosting, use only dishes that are appropriate for microwaves (china, glass, suitable plastic). The defrost function by weight and the tables refer to the defrosting of raw food. The defrosting time depends on the quantity and thickness of the food. The thickest parts of fish or chicken drumsticks should be turned towards the outside. You can protect the most delicate parts of food with pieces of aluminium foil. Important: The aluminium foil must not come into contact with the oven cavity interior as this can cause electrical arcing. Distribute the frozen food as evenly as possible since narrow and thin portions defrost more quickly than the thicker and broader parts. Fat-rich foods such as butter, cream cheese and cream should not be completely defrosted. If they are kept at room temperature they will be ready to be served in a few minutes. With ultra-frozen cream, if you find small pieces of ice in it, you should mix these in before serving. Place poultry on an upturned plate so that the meat juices can run off more easily. [. . . ] Check if: - The Safety Block is active (see section on Basic Settings). Check if: - There is any electrical arcing inside the oven caused by foreign metallic objects (see section on type of ovenware). - There are any loose items of cutlery or cooking tools inside the oven. inadvertently used metal EN The food is too hot, dried out or burnt!
