AUTO DEFROST FUNCTION
Your microwave oven has a special automatic defrosting function, which provides you
with good end results. The oven needs to know the type of food to be defrosted and the net
weight of the food.
Auto Defrost is used for defrosting of raw food.
MEAT
(100 g - 2 Kg)
* Pork chops
* Steaks
* Roasts
* Minced meat
POULTRY
(100 g - 2 Kg)
* Chicken,
whole or in
pieces
FISH
(100 g - 2 Kg)
* Cod steaks
* Plaice fillets
* Trout
IMPORTANT!
When using the automatic defrost function, the weight to be entered is the net weight in
grams meaning only the weight of the food, the vessel excluded.
The Auto defrost function gives best results, if the food is at -18°C and the food
to be defrosted is taken directly from the freezer.
If the food is warmer than deep-freeze temperature (-18°C) e.g. is stored in the
freezing compartment of the refrigerator, which is not a three star, the defrosting
time calculated by the oven will be too long and you may risk over-cooking the
food.
Choose in that case lower weight of the food and by that shorter defrosting time.
Choose also lower weight of the food to be defrosted, if the food is stored outside
the freezer for times up to 20 minutes.
Defrost by time and power if the food is stored outside the freezer for more than 20
minutes and for defrosting ready-made food. Standing time always improves the result.
Small pieces of aluminium foil may be used to shield e.g. chicken wings, leg tips and
fish-tails but the foil must not touch the side of the oven as damage may occur.
1. Press one of the AUTO DEFROST buttons.
2. Press the + / - buttons to set the weight of the food to be defrosted.
3. Press the START button.
MANUAL DEFROST FUNCTION
Follow the procedure for ”Time and Power”
and choose Power 3 when defrosting
manually.
When softening ice-cream or butter you
should adjust the setting to Power 1.
Check and inspect the food regularly.
Experience will give you the times needed
for various amounts.
