FOR BEST RESULTS
•
Defrost times are for thoroughly frozen food
that has been in the freezer for at least
24 hours and maintained at temperatures of
–18°C or lower.
•
When freezing meats, poultry and fish,
use good quality plastic wrap, bags and
containers.
•
Always freeze meats in a single layer no
thicker than 3-5 cm.
•
To separate meat, such as chicken pieces or
steak, place wax paper or plastic film between
each layer.
•
Ensure that all air has been removed and
packaging has been sealed securely.
•
Label the packs with type and cut of meat,
date and weight.
•
Remove any packaging and bags from frozen
meats before defrosting.
•
Shield thin ends of chops, steaks or chicken
with foil to prevent overheating and cooking
of those areas.
•
Position foods in a single layer with thinner
parts in the centre and thicker ends around
the outside of the turntable.
•
After the defrost cycle, most foods will still
be somewhat icy in the centre when removed
from the microwave. Stand food for
5–15 minutes until completely thawed.
Meat
The SMART DEFROST MEAT setting is
suitable for defrosting meat such as beef, lamb
and pork.
It is important that the frozen meat is no
thicker than 3-5 cm.
Remove any packaging, foam trays and
absorbent pads from the meat.
Place directly onto a microwave-safe plate or
shallow dish.
Halfway through the defrost program, the oven
will beep and will flash “stir/turn food”
Pause and remove any defrosted meat and set
aside in the refrigerator. Turn the frozen meat
over and return to the microwave oven. Press
START to restart program.
At the end of the program, remove meat and
stand 5–15 minutes to thaw completely.
