Defrost
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. 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.
Your oven has four microwave defrost
settings:-
MEAT, POULTRY, FISH
and
BREAD
; each defrost category has
different power settings. Repeated
presses of the
AUTO DEFROST
button
will select a different setting.

Press

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.

metallic ties or wraps; then place the food in your oven and close the
oven door.
