Turbo Defrost
Notes:
1. For menu No. 26, please skip step 2,4.
2. Check foods during defrosting. Foods vary in their defrosting speed.
3. It is not necessary to cover the food.
4. Always turn or stir the food especially when the oven “beeps”. Shield if necessary (see point 5).
5. Minced meat/chops/chicken portions should be broken up or separated as soon as possible and placed in a
single layer.
6. Shielding prevents food cooking. It is essential when defrosting chickens and joints of meat. The outside
thaws out first, so protect wings/breast/fat with smooth pieces of aluminium foil secured with cocktail sticks.
7. Allow standing time so that the centre of the food thaws out (minimum 1-2 hours for joints of meat and whole
chickens).
8. The shape and size of the food will determine the maximum weight the oven can accommodate.
9. Allow standing time to ensure the food is completely defrosted.
10. If ‘HOT’ appears in the display window, the oven temperature is too high from previous use and an auto
program can not be set. Cooking mode and time may still be set manually.
With this feature you can defrost frozen foods according to the weight. Select the category and set the weight of the
food. The weight is programmed in grams. For quick selection, the weight starts from the minimum weight for each
category.

1. Meat-Portions (mince/chops/chicken portions)
Chops and chicken portions should be arranged in a single layer and turned frequently during defrosting.
It is necessary for mince to be broken up frequently during defrosting and this is best carried out in a large
shallow dish. Standing time 20-30 mins. Not suitable for sausages, these can be defrosted manually.
Please refer to defrosting chart on pages 46.
2. Meat-Whole/Whole chickens
Whole chickens and meat-whole will require shielding during defrosting especially if it is a particularly fatty
piece. This is to prevent food starting to cook on the outside edges. Protect wings, breast and fat with
smooth pieces of aluminium foil secured with cocktail sticks. Do not allow the foil to touch the walls of the
oven. Standing time of at least 1-2 hours should be allowed for joints after defrosting.
3. Bread
This program is suitable for small items which are required for immediate use, they may feel warm straight
after defrosting. Loaves can also be defrosted on this program but these will require standing time to allow
the centre to thaw out. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated and buns and loaves cut
in half. Items should be turned during defrosting. Standing time 10 - 30 minutes. A longer time may be
needed for large loaves. This program is not suitable for cream cakes or desserts e.g. cheesecake.
This feature allows you to defrost minced meat, chops, chicken portions, meat-whole and bread. Tap
Turbo Defrost pad to select the correct defrost category and then enter in the weight of the food in
grams (see page 44).
Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on an upturned saucer
or on a microwave safe plate. Chops, chicken portions and slices of bread should be placed in a single layer. It is
not necessary to cover the foods.
The Turbo theory principle is used in auto weight defrost programs to give you a quick and more even defrost.
The 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. 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.
