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.

Enter the weight of the frozen food that you are about to defrost.

Turn 

DIAL

knob until display shows “1.4”.

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.

Press 

AUTO DEFROST

twice to select the 

POULTRY

defrosting programme.

Press 

STOP/CLEAR.

Weigh 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.
