By selecting the DEFROST power level from
the microwave power button and setting a
time, you can defrost food in your microwave.
The biggest problem is getting the inside
defrosted before the outside starts to cook.
For this reason a defrost program alternates
between a defrost power and a standing time.
The name for this type of defrost is cyclic.
During the standing stages there is not any
microwave power in the oven, although the
light will remain on.
Separate chops and small items e.g.
bread slices where possible.
Turn dense foods and meat 2/3 times
during defrosting.

Defrosting Guidelines
The automatic stand times ensure a more
even defrost but it is still necessary to allow for
standing time before use. Place foods in a
suitable container. Meat joints and chickens
should be placed on an upturned saucer or on
a plastic rack if you have one.
Chickens and joints of meat will require
shielding during defrosting.
Break up small items e.g. minced meat,
frequently during defrosting.
