Auto Defrost

The temperature and density of food vary, I would recommend that the food be 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 is cooked 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 on microwave safe dish on the
low rack on the metal tray and close the oven door.

Press 

ENTER

for category confirmation.

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

Turn 

CONTROL

dial knob until display shows “1.4kg” for the weight of

frozen food.

Press

AUTO DEFROST

(      ).

Turn 

CONTROL

dial knob until display shows “dEF2”.

Press

START/Q-START.

Your oven has four microwave defrost
settings:- 

MEAT, POULTRY, FISH

and

BREAD

; each defrost category has

different power settings.

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/Q-START

to resume defrosting.

Your oven will not stop defrosting (even when the beep sounded) unless the door is opened.
