which will start flashing.

Confirm your setting with the START/STOP button.
Your oven will then start up and count down the cooking time
second by second.
If needs be, cooking can be stopped by pressing the START/STOP
button for a second.
NOTE :
OPENING THE DOOR DURING COOKING
If you open the oven door when cooking, the cooking cycle will be
stopped. To re-start cooking, close the door and press the

The hours of waiting for your food to defrost are finished with your microwa-
ve oven! The microwave is the deep-freeze's best
ally, as it enables you to defrost your frozen food up to ten times quicker than
by just leaving it in the open air.
Recommendations:
- Defrosting times vary depending on the type of apparatus. They also
depend on the size, shape, initial temperature and quality of the food.
- Make sure that you remove any metallic attachments on food packa-
ging when defrosting.
- If there are any ice crystals on the food, scrape them off beforehand
with a knife. Otherwise the ice will create a screen and slow down
defrosting.
- Put meat or fish on an overturned saucer for defrosting. This enables
any juice liable to trigger off a cooking process by being in contact with
the food to drip away.
- To make your defrosting as homogeneous as possible, separate chic-
ken escalope, fish fillets, or pieces of meat as soon as you can.
- Turn the food over or mix it up when it is half-defrosted.
- Leave food to rest after defrosting it. Normally the rest time = defros-
ting time.
- Never refreeze any defrosted food before it has been
cooked.
