Defrosting Tips
1. It is better to underestimate defrosting time if
you are unsure. Food will continue to defrost
during the standing time.
2. Separate food as soon as possible.
3. Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway through
the defrosting time, or at pause.
4. Remove any thawed food as soon as possible.
5. Remove or open any packaging before defrosting.
6. Place food in a larger container than that which
it was frozen in, this will allow for easy stirring.
7. Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and turn
over halfway through defrosting time or at
pause. Delicate areas such as wing tips can be
shielded with small pieces of smooth foil.
8. Standing time is very important, particularly for
large, dense foods which cannot be stirred to
ensure that the centre is completely defrosted
before cooking.
Example: To defrost 1200g of food using adjust plus (or minus ).
1 Touch Clear/Stop
2 Touch Auto Defrost button
3 Turn the Setting Control Knob clockwise until 1.2kg is displayed
4 Touch the Power button once and will be displayed (or 2 times for )
5 Touch Start
At the end of the defrosting time, the programme will automatically stop. The cooling fan and oven light will
still be on until the turntable has returned to its original position.
When the oven has switched off completely, 3 soft audible bell sounds will be heard and the cooking symbol
will flash. At this stage, it is possible to enter a further programme. However, if there is no action taken, after
approximately 1 minute, 2 further soft sounds will be heard and the window display will revert to the time of
day.
Auto Defrost
Auto Defrost by Weight is an accurate defrosting
method for frozen meat, poultry or fish.
The plus or minus adjust keys may be
selected via the Power button and are used to increase
or decrease the preset defrosting times as required.
No other changes to the programmes are possible, so
if necessary, cancel and re-programme as required.
The feature also has a built-in pause mechanism to
allow for checking and stirring or rearranging the
food. The oven stops approximately one-third of the
way through the defrost period and 2 soft audible
bell sounds are emitted. If you do not open the door
at the pause, the oven restarts after about 2 minutes
and commences the remaining defrost period. To
cancel the pause period, simply touch Start and the
programme will continue.
The maximum amount of food which may
be thawed on Auto Defrost is 2kg and the
weight increments are in 0.1kg (100g).
