–
Although the program defrosts automatically,
you should still check the food frequently,
just as for manual defrosting.
–
For best results, first remove the packaging
around meat and fish. Packaging can
adversely affect the defrosting process. The
presence of liquid from the fish or meat can
lead to the formation of steam, which then
cooks the outside of the food.
–
If the packaging is difficult to remove, it is
best to allow the food to defrost for one
quarter of the defrosting time, which is
shown in the display at the start of the
defrost program. Take the food out of the
microwave, remove the packaging and put
the food back.
–
Put the food in a shallow glass oven dish, to
catch any liquid that comes out of it.

keep your appliance looking good
Before starting to clean the microwave oven,
remove the plug from the socket or turn the switch
in the meter cupboard to zero.
Clean the inside immediately after use. Use a damp
cloth to remove any condensation, liquid that has
boiled over and food remains. Crumbs and liquid
that remain behind absorb microwave energy and
lengthen cooking times.
Clean the inside and outside of the oven regularly
using soapy water and dry it thoroughly with a dry
cloth. The accessories may also be washed in a
dishwasher.
Make sure that the microwave distributer cover
(inside the oven on the right) is clean. A cover
which is not clean may cause sparking.
Clean the accessories regularly; use soapy water
and a brush and dry the accessories thoroughly
with a dry cloth.
Check the door closure and the door seal regularly
for damage.
Do not use the oven if the door or the door closure
is damaged.
