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 23).
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 25).
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.
