HOW TO USE THE MICROWAVE
Defrost function
Ensure food is thoroughly defrosted before starting the cooking process.
There are 2 defrosting methods:
The microwave generally penetrates 4cm into most foods.
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.
