DEFROST FUNCTIONS
• This microwave oven is handy for
defrosting frozen foods, such as meat,
poultry, or seafood. There are two defrost
options to select from.
• When using either of the defrosting
programs, the system will pause and sound
beeps to remind the user to turn food over.
• If no action is taken after 20 seconds
during programming, the LED display will
revert back to the CLOCK time set, and re-
programming will be required.
WEIGHT DEFROST
When using Weight Defrost, the time
and defrosting power level are adjusted
automatically once the weight is programmed.
The weight of the frozen food varies between
100g and 1800g.
1. Press the WEIGHT ADJUST button to
scroll through the weight options.
2. Push the START/+30 SEC dial to start.
3. The microwave will pause, and a beep
will sound indicating the need to turn the
food over. Once the food has been turned,
push the START/+30 SEC dial to resume
defrosting.
4. Press the STOP/CANCEL button once to
pause or twice to cancel.

food based on the time you program.

TIPS ON DEFROSTING
• The energy required for defrosting is much
lower than for cooking as the microwave
causes the ice formed in the food to melt,
rather than heat.
• Before defrosting meat in the microwave
oven, remove the freezer bag or wrapping
to prevent meat sitting in 'drip', which will
otherwise boil as the meat defrosts causing
meat to go grey and begin to stew.
• To remove frozen meat from freezer
wrappings, defrost for a few minutes so the
wrap is easy to remove.
• Remove meat from Styrofoam trays as they
are not microwave-safe.
• Place meat onto a microwave safe rack and
a drip tray to catch juices.
• Check the meat throughout the defrosting
time. As outer portions of meat thaw,
remove them. If the edges of meat feel
warm, stop microwaving and allow meat to
stand for a few minutes or until edges are
cold again.
• After defrosting the meat, it must be cooked
right away. Don't leave it to stand for any
length of time at room temperature or in the
fridge.
SAFETY CHILD LOCK
• The Safety Child Lock can be activated
to prevent unsupervised operation of the
microwave oven by children.
• When activated, the microwave oven cannot
be operated and the SAFETY CHILD
LOCK icon will illuminate on the display.
1. To set the SAFETY CHILD LOCK, press
and hold the STOP/CANCEL button for
3 seconds until a beep sounds and the
SAFETY CHILD LOCK icon will illuminate
on the display.
2. To cancel the SAFETY CHILD LOCK, press
and hold the STOP/CANCEL button for
3 seconds until the SAFETY CHILD LOCK
icon is no longer displayed on the screen.
