Auto Defrost
Your oven has four microwave defrost
settings:- MEAT, POULTRY, FISH and
BREAD; each defrost category has
different power settings.
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. For example fish cooks so quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while still
slightly frozen. 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 1.4Kg
of frozen poultry.
Press STOP/CLEAR.
Weigh the food that you are about to defrost. Be certain to remove any
metallic ties or wraps; then place the food on microwave safe dish on the
low rack on the metal tray and close the oven door.
Press AUTO DEFROST(
).
Turn CONTROL dial knob until display shows "dEF2".
Press ENTER/CLOCK for category confirmation.
Enter the weight of the frozen food that you are about to defrost.
Turn CONTROL dial knob until display shows "1.4kg" for the weight of
frozen food.
Press START/Q-START.
During defrosting your oven will "BEEP", at which point open the oven door, turn food over and separate to
ensure even thawing. Remove any portions that have thawed or shield them to help slow down thawing. After
checking close the oven door and press START/Q-START to resume defrosting.
Your oven will not stop defrosting (even when the beep sounded) unless the door is opened.
