HOW TO USE THE MICROWAVE
Defrost
The microwave generally penetrates 4cm into most foods. Therefore you
must ensure food is thoroughly defrosted before starting the cooking process.
For even defrosting results, ensure you turn the food over during the cycle.
Defrosting generally takes longer than the cooking time of food.
Defrosted food should be consumed as soon as possible, do not put it back in
the fridge or freeze again.
Weight Defrost
As an example, to defrost 400g of poultry:
1.
In standby mode, press the ‘
Weight/Time Defrost
’ button twice –
‘d
-

will be displayed. Then press the
‘
Start/Confirm
’ button.
2.
Turn the '
Auto Menu/Weight/Time
' dial
clockwise until you reach the
desired weight ‘
400g
’.
3.
To commence defrosting, press the
‘
Auto Menu/Weight/Time’
dial.
Time Defrost
As an example, to defrost 10 minutes:
1.
In standby mode, press the ‘
Weight/Time Defrost
’ button once –
‘d

will
be displayed. Then press the
‘

Note:
Approximately two thirds of the way through the defrosting time in
both Weight Defrost and Time Defrost, the oven will beep and pause. This is
to allow you to turn over the food for even defrosting. Turn over or rearrange
the food and press the
‘Start/Confirm'
button to resume defrosting. To
defrost fatty meat, defrost intermittently until defrosted. Ice should be
removed at all times.
