Zanussi ZKG44500XA Manuel D’Utilisation

fork several times before cooking so that the

food does not burst.

• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer

cooking time.

• Dishes which contain sauce must be stirred

from time to time.

• Turn larger pieces of food after half the

cooking time.

• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-sized

pieces.

• Use flat, wide dishes.

• Do not use cookware made of porcelain,

ceramic or earthenware with unglazed

bottoms or small holes, e.g. on handles .

Moisture going into the holes can cause the

cookware to crack when it is heated.

Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small

upturned plate with a container below it, or

on a defrosting rack or plastic sieve so that

the defrosting liquid can run off.

• Turn the food after half the defrosting time. If

possible, divide and then remove the pieces

that have started to defrost.

• Do not fully defrost in the appliance, but let

them defrost completely at a room

temperature. This gives a more even result.

Remove all metal or aluminium packaging or

parts before defrosting.

Defrosting fruit, vegetables:
• If fruit and vegetables should remain raw, do

not defrost them fully in the appliance but let

them defrost completely at a room

temperature.

• To cook fruit and vegetables without

defrosting them first, you can use a higher

microwave power.

Ready meals:
• Ready meals in metal packaging or plastic

trays with metal covers can only be

defrosted or heated in the microwave if they

are expressively designated as suitable for

use in the microwave.

• You must follow the manufacturer's

instructions printed on the packaging (e.g.

remove the metal cover and pierce the

plastic film).
