En-12
This feature allows you to enter the weight
in grams and the oven will select the correct
defrosting time. Do not use for porous foods
e.g. bread, cakes and convenience foods
etc.
The Inverter defrost system used in Auto
Weight Defrost programs uses a random
sequence of pulsing microwave energy. This
speeds up the defrosting process, giving a
quick and more even defrost.
See Operating Instructions for selection of
the grams. During the defrosting process,
the oven will beep to remind you to check
the food i.e. turn, shield or break the food
apart, as shown above.
Auto Weight Defrost
Tips for Defrosting
Check the defrosting several times, even if you use the automatic buttons. Observe the
standing times.
STANDING TIMES
Individual portions of food may be cooked almost
immediately after defrosting (5 minutes standing
time for steaks, 15 minutes for fruit and pastry). It
is normal for large portions of food to be frozen
in the centre. Before cooking, allow to stand for a
minimum of one hour
. During this standing
time, the temperature becomes evenly
distributed and the food is defrosted by
conduction. NB If the food is not going to be
cooked immediately, store it in the refrigerator.
Never refreeze defrosted food without first
cooking it.
JOINTS AND POULTRY
It is preferable to place the joints on an upturned
plate or plastic rack so that they are not resting
in the juices. It is essential to protect delicate or
projecting parts of this food with small pieces of
foil to prevent these parts from cooking. It is not
dangerous to use small pieces of foil in your
oven, provided
they do not come into contact
with the oven walls
.
