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

key will

select a different setting.

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 1.4Kg
of frozen poultry.

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.

Press 

AUTO DEFROST

twice to select the 

POULTRY

defrosting programme.

dEF2

” appears on the display window.

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

Press 

fourteen times to enter 1.4 Kg.

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 sounds) unless the door is opened.
