Weight Range:
Food weight should be rounded up or down to the nearest 0.1 kg e.g. 0.65kg to 0.7kg
or 0.34kg to 0.3kg.
You are restricted to enter a weight within the range given (see chart on page 10).
The weight is entered by holding down the
POWER/WEIGHT
key, as well as by
pressing, until the desired weight appears. To cook or defrost food which is not included in
the EXPRESS COOK/DEFROST chart, please refer to the charts in the coobook section.
Defrost:
If necessary, shield small areas of meat or poultry with flat pieces of aluminium foil. This
will prevent thin areas becoming warm during defrosting. Ensure the foil does not touch
the oven walls. Do not cook the meat or poultry until thoroughly defrosted.
Freezing Foods:
When freezing foods for EXPRESS COOK, ensure the food is fresh and of good quality.
When action is required (example, to turn food over) the oven stops and the audible signals sound, the
remaining cooking time and any indicator will flash on the display. To continue cooking, press the
START/AUTO MINUTE
key.
• The final temperature will vary according to the initial food temperature. Check food is piping hot after
cooking. If necessary, you can extend the cooking manually.
• If you use the AUTO MINUTE function during EXPRESS COOK/DEFROST operation, the food may be
overcooked.
This function enables you to cook or defrost the foods listed on the control panel (see EXPRESS COOK/
DEFROST charts on the page 10).
