Auto Defrost - Panasonic NN-CT569M Operating Instructions Manual

Your microwave appliance has 2 programs for defrosting; one for meat, fish and poultry, the
other one for different types of bread and cake.
The food should ideally be frozen and stored flat and evenly arranged at a minimum temperature
of -18°C. Food should be frozen in suitable portions and shapes, so that the food fits into the
appliance for defrosting. All packaging material should be removed where possible. If it is difficult
to remove the the packing, start defrosting at 1000W for 1-2 minutes. Place the food onto a plate
to defrost.
With the meat/fish program put food on an upturned saucer, so the meat juices can drip off.
Under no circumstance should this meat juice be re-used or come into contact with other foods.
When thawing out with the auto-weight programs standing time is necessary, until the food is
thawed out completely or can be processed further. Depending upon weight and type of the food
up to 90 minutes may be required.
