EFROSTING CHART
FOOD DEFROSTING TIME
Bread Buns
Rice (cooked)
NOTES:
• Prior to defrosting, food is frozen approx. -18°C.
• If it is necessary to shield small areas of food, use small pieces of foil.
• Only use food which is thoroughly defrosted, use a professional food thermometer to ensure acceptable temperatures have
been achieved throughout.
EXPRESS DEFROST
This is specially designed for smaller cuts of food. The following items are to be used on the express defrost programme.
1. Beef Steak
2. Lamb Chops
3. Pork Chops
4. Chicken Legs
5. Fish Fillets
The oven is pre-programmed with a time and power level cycle so that the food listed above is defrosted better and faster.
BASIC IDEAS FOR EXPRESS DEFROST
1. Always allow food to stand for approx. 30-45 minutes after defrosting to equalise the temperature and to produce better
defrosting results.
2. Check food after standing. If the item is not thoroughly defrosted, continue to defrost on 20% power for additional time.
3. Choose foods that are the same thickness throughout. This will produce better defrosting results. Foods which vary in
thickness may require shielding with small fl at pieces of tin foil to prevent over-defrosting.
4. For foods not listed in the chart refer to the manual defrosting chart.
5. When freezing chicken legs, steak, chops and fi sh, freeze separately in single fl at layers and if necessary interleave with
freezer plastic to seperate layers. This will ensure even defrosting.
