Reheating plated meals
Arrange the individual components of the meal (e.g. pasta,
vegetables and meat) on a warm plate (room temperature).
Note: The time required depends on the item in the meal with
the longest reheating time (e.g. meat).
The information in the table is only a guideline. Always use shelf
height 1 for reheating food.
Only preheat your appliance if it is recommended in the table.

Notes
■ Frozen products that have been defrosted (meat in particular)
require shorter cooking times than fresh products
■ The cooking time for frozen meat increases by the defrosting
time
■ Always defrost frozen poultry before cooking so that you can
remove the giblets
■ Cook frozen fish at the same temperatures as fresh fish
■ You can place large quantities of ready made frozen
vegetables in aluminium dishes in the cooking compartment
at the same time
■ Use shelf height 1 when defrosting on one level, and shelf
heights 1 + 3 when using two levels
■ Observe the instructions on the packaging when using frozen
foods.
