READ

Your oven has four microwave defrost
settings:- 

MEAT, POULTRY, FISH

and

BREAD

; each defrost category has

different power settings. Repeated
presses of the 

AUTO DEFROST

button

will select a different setting.

The temperature and density of food varies, I would recommend that the food is checked before cooking
commences. Pay particular attention to large joints of meat and chicken, some foods should not be
completely thawed before cooking. 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 1.4 Kg of frozen poultry.
