Delicate parts, such as the legs and wings of
chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts, can be
covered with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil
must not touch the sides of the cooking compart-
ment.
Start the operation.

You can remove the foil halfway through the defrost-
ing time.
Note: Liquid is produced when you defrost meat

and poultry.
Drain off any liquid when turning and under no cir-
cumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to
come into contact with other foods.
Redistribute the food or turn it once or twice as it

defrosts.
Turn large pieces of food several times.
