The temperature and density of food vary, I would recommend that the food be 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 is cooked so quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while
still slightly frozen. The Paneer 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 chicken.
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
metal tray in your oven and close the oven door.
Press Defrost once.
Turn Dial knob until display shows "d
Press Enter for category(chicken) confirmation.
Enter the weight of the frozen food that you are about to defrost.
Turn Dial knob until display shows "1.4kg" for the weight of frozen food.
Press 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 to resume defrosting.
Your oven will not stop defrosting (even when the beep sounded) unless the door is opened.
