Your oven has four microwave defrost
settings:-
Meat, Poultry, Fish
and
Bread
;
each defrost category has different
power settings.
Repeated presses of the
Defrost
button
will select a different setting.
The temperature and density of food varies, 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 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
0.8Kg of frozen poultry.
During defrosting your oven will “BEEP”, at which point open the oven door, turn food over, rotate dish a half turn
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
ENTER/START/Q-START( )
to resume defrosting.
Your oven will not stop defrosting (even when the beep is sounded) unless the door is opened.
* When defrosting, use the rack only.
