lesser or greater than recommended weight, you
should follow the procedure for "Cook and reheat with
microwaves" and choose 160 W when defrosting.
The oven continues automatically after 2

frosting time will be longer in this case.

MANUAL DEFROST

1. Press the Manual Defrost button.
2. Turn the adjust knob to set the cooking time.
3. Press the Start button.
In this mode the MW power level can not be adju-
sted, and it will be fixed to 160w.
Check and inspect the food regularly. Experience
will give you the times needed for various amounts.
Frozen food in plastic bags, plastic films or cardbo-
ard packages can be placed directly in the oven as
long as the package has no metal parts (e.g. metal
twist ties).
The shape of the package alters the defrosting
time. Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a
deep block.

and if the weight is
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
Individual slices defrost more easily.
Shield areas of food with small pieces of aluminum
foil if they start to become warm (e.g. chicken legs
and wing tips).
Turn large joints halfway through the defrosting
process.
Boiled food, stews and meat sauces defrost better
if stirred during defrosting time.
When defrosting it is better to under-thaw the food
slightly and allow the process to finish during stan-
ding time.
Standing time after defrosting always improves the
result since the temperature will then be evenly di-
stributed throughout the food.
