* The benefit of this Auto Defrost feature is automatic setting and control of defrosting, but just like conventional defrosting you must check the

food during the defrosting time.

* For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat and poultry from its original paper or plastic package(wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold

steam and juice close to the food which can cause the outer surface of the food to cook.

* Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish to catch drippings.

* Food should still be some what icy in the centre when removed from the oven.

* When it is difficult to remove the wrap from the food, defrost the wrapped food for about a quarter of the total defrost time, 

which is displayed at the beginning of the defrost cycle. Then remove the food from the oven and remove the wrap from the food.

* Sliced bread should be placed between sheets of kitchen towel and bread rolls should be cut in half before defrosting.

* At the end of defrosting, allow to stand until completely thawed.

For example, joints of meat and whole chickens should STAND for 30 minutes before cooking.

1. MEAT

2. POULTRY

3. FISH

4. BREAD
