Auto
Defrost
Your oven has four microwave defrost
settings:-
MEAT, POULTRY, FISH
and
BREAD
; each defrost category has
different power settings.
The temperature and density of food varies, I would recommend that the food is checked before cooking commences.
Pay particular attention to large joints of meat and chicken, some foods should not be completely thawed before
cooking. For example fish cooks so quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while still slightly frozen. The
BREAD programme is suitable for defrosting small items such as rolls or a small loaf. These will require a standing
time to allow the centre to thaw. In the following example I will show you how to defrost 1.4 kg of frozen poultry.
Press
STOP/CLEAR.
Weight the food that you are about to defrost. Be certain to remove any
metallic ties or wraps; then place the food in your oven and close the
oven door.
Press
Auto Defrost.
Turn
DIAL
until display shows “dEF2”.
Press
DIAL
for category confirmation.
Press
START
.
During defrosting your oven will “BEEP”, at which point open the oven door, turn food over and separate to
ensure even thawing. Remove any portions that have thawed or shield them to help slow down thawing.
After checking close the oven door and press
START
to resume defrosting.
Your oven will not stop defrosting (even when the beep sounded) unless the door is opened.
Enter the weight of the frozen food that you are about to defrost.
Turn
DIAL
until display shows “1.4kg”.
