Defrosting Techniques:
●
Remove freezer paper,
wrap or foil wrap. Place food a microwave-safe dish.
●
To prevent thin parts and edges from becoming too warm and cooking before
of food is defrosted, shield with small pieces of
foil.
●
Because some foods will still be icy in the centre, it is necessary to have a standing time
after defrosting the food in the oven. Food should be taken out of the oven to complete
defrosting. A longer standing time might be required for denser foods such as roasts.
●
To defrost items not listed in defrosting chart, use Time defrosting (see page 14).
Note:
●
Maximum weight for defrosting is
●
The oven selects 1 kg if a weight is not entered.
●
Beep tone sounds 5 times during the defrosting cycle to signal that food
should be rearranged to
defrosting performance. Open the door and
rearrange the food. The oven continues the defrosting cycle to the end if you
do not open the door.
●
Food can be defrosted in a styrofoam package.
●
If weight of food is stated in pounds and ounces, it must be converted to
kilograms.
