Defrosting Tips and Techniques

Preparation for Freezing
The quality of the cooked foods comes from the foods before freezing, freezing ways and defrosting tips and times. So it is
important to purchase fresh and high quality foods. And freeze them immediately. Thick plastic foil, package, freezing
wrap and the meat which has been sealed before selling are all able to be reserved in the refrigerator for some times.
Notes:
1. Please remove the aluminum foil if the package is made of aluminum to prevent arcing.
2. The foods in the refrigerator should be kept under 18˚C. ( At least 24 hours in freezer before defrosting.)
Steam Defrost
The Steam defrost function is operated based on the
weight of foods. Most cut foods such as chicken, meat and
fish can be defrosted by using this function easily. Set the
Time/Weight dial for weight based on the real weight of
foods, and the microwave oven will set the power and time
automatically. The display window will display the time of
defrost after setting. The foods listed in the below table
are the most suitable for using chaos defrost function. The
minimize weight is 0.1kg and the maximum is 3.0kg for

Tips for steam defrost
Meat, which is with bones. For example, if the meat with
bones has the same weight as the pure meat, the meat in the
former one is lighter than the latter one. So, subtract 0.5 kg
for 2 kg meat with bones is better for defrosting and 0.2-0.3
kg for meat with bones which is less then 2 kg.
