Auto weight defrost programs
This feature allows you to defrost minced meat, chops, chicken portions, meat joints and bread.
The CHAOS defrost pad should be pressed to select the correct category and then enter in the
weight of the food in grams or pounds and ounces using the appropriate pads (See page 24).
Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on an
upturned saucer or on a rack. Chops, chicken portions and slices of bread should be placed in a
single layer. It is not necessary to cover the foods.
The CHAOS Theory principle is used in Auto Weight defrost programs to give you a quick and
more even defrost.
The CHAOS system uses a random sequence of pulsing microwave energy which speeds up
the defrosting process.
During the program the oven will beep to remind you to check the food.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU TURN AND STIR THE FOOD FREQUENTLY AND SHIELD IF
NECESSARY (See below and page 26).
On hearing the first beep you should TURN and SHIELD (if possible). On the second beep you
should turn the food or break it up.
