At the end of the defrosting time, the programme will automatically stop. The cooling fan and oven
light will still be on until the turntable has returned to its original position.
When the oven has switched off completely, 3 soft audible bell sounds will be heard and the
cooking symbol will flash. At this stage, it is possible to enter a further programme. However, if
there is no action taken, after approximately 1 minute, 2 further soft sounds will be heard and the
window display will revert to the time of day.
Defrosting Tips
1. It is better to underestimate defrosting time
if you are unsure. Food will continue to
defrost during the standing time.
2. Separate food as soon as possible.
3. Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway
through the defrosting time, or at pause.
4. Remove any thawed food as soon as
possible.
5. Remove or open any packaging before
defrosting.

rearranging the food. The oven stops
approximately one-third of the way through the
defrost period and 2 soft audible bell sounds
are emitted. If you do not open the door at the
pause, the oven restarts after about 2 minutes
and commences the remaining defrost period.
To cancel the pause period, simply touch Start
and the programme will continue.

6. Place food in a larger container than that
which it was frozen in, this will allow for
easy stirring.
7. Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and
turn over halfway through defrosting time or
at pause. Delicate areas such as wing tips
can be shielded with small pieces of smooth
foil.
8. Standing time is very important, particularly
for large, dense foods which cannot be
stirred to ensure that the centre is
completely defrosted before cooking.
