Program Weight Range
100-800 g
11. Bread
150-1000 g
12. Meat Items
400-2000 g
13. Meat Joints
1. Bread
This program is suitable for small items which are required for immediate use, they may feel
warm straight after defrosting. Loaves can also be defrosted on this program but these will require
standing time to allow the centre to thaw out. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated
and buns and loaves cut in half. Items should be turned at beeps. This program is not suitable for
cream cakes or desserts e.g. cheesecake. Standing time 10-15 minutes.
2. Meat Items (mince/chops/chicken portions)
Not suitable for sausages, these can be defrosted manually. Please refer to defrosting chart on
page 28. Chops and chicken portions should be arranged in a single layer and turned at beeps. It
is necessary for mince to be broken up at beeps and this is best carried out in a large shallow dish.
Standing time 15-30 minutes.
3. Meat Joints / Whole Chickens
Whole chickens and meat joints will require shielding at beeps especially if it is a particularly fatty
piece. This is to prevent food starting to cook on the outside edges. Protect wings, breast and fat
with smooth pieces of aluminium foil secured with cocktail sticks. Do not allow the foil to touch
the walls of the oven. Standing time of at least 1 hour should be allowed for joints after defrosting.
Notes
1. The shape and size of the food will determine the maximum weight the oven can accommodate.
2. Allow standing time to ensure the food is completely defrosted.
