Warning! Do not use the Grilling Rack when defrosting.
Warning! The microwave oven will be hot during and after defrosting,
take care when removing food.
Auto Defrost
The auto defrost facility of your microwave enables you to defrost meat,
poultry and seafood by simply setting the weight of the food. The range of
weights that can be auto defrosted is between 0.1kg and 2.0kg.
Suppose you want to defrost 1.4kg of frozen food.
1. Press the COOKING button (6 times) until DEF appears in the display.
The microwave, defrost and time symbols will be shown in the display.
2. Press the 1 MINUTE button once. 1.0 (kg) will be shown in the display.
3. Press the 10 SECOND button repeatedly (4 times) until 1.4 (kg) appears
in the display.
4. Press the START/RESET button to start auto defrost.
Microwave Defrost Principles
•
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions
that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated
defrosting time, program the oven in 1 - minute increments until totally
defrosted.
•
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long
enough to remove from plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe
dish.
•
Food frozen in plastic bags or in their packaging may be placed
directly in the oven, as long as they have no metal parts (e.g. bands or
closure rivets).
•
Certain foods, such as greens, vegetables and fish, do not have to be
completely defrosted before you begin cooking them.
•
Stewed foods and meats and meat sources defrost better and quicker
if they are stirred from time to time.
•
While defrosting, meat and fish lose their liquid content. It is
recommended that you defrost such items in a tray or bowl.
•
It is advisable to separate individual pieces of meat and freeze them
separately. This will save valuable time when defrosting.
•
Always allow defrosted items to stand after defrosting before cooking
them. Standing time should be at least as long as the defrost time.
