WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Use the Steam Defrost function for defrosting food such as
meat, poultry, vegetables, bread and fruit.
Food should be cooked immediately after the defrost/
■
standing time is completed.
When defrosting, it is better to slightly underthaw the food
■
and allow the process to finish during standing time.
Adding standing time after defrosting always improves
■
the results, as the temperature will be evenly distributed
throughout the food.
Wrap bread to keep it from becoming soggy.
■
Place foods, such as meat and fish, in the oven without
■
packaging or wrapping on the steam tray on rack position
3. Place the baking/drip tray beneath it on rack position 1 to
collect the thawing water.
