• The glass cooking tray is a work space for
heating food or liquids. It is necessary for
the operation of the microwave.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small
upturned plate with a container below it so
that the defrosting liquid collects in the con-
tainer.
• Turn the food after half of the defrosting
time. If possible, divide and then remove the
pieces that started to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark:
• Do not fully defrost the food in the appli-
ance, but let it defrost at room temperature.
This gives a more even result. Fully remove
all metal or aluminium packaging before de-
frosting.
