Defrost
Press Stop/Clear.
Weigh the food that you are about to defrost. Be certain to remove any
metallic ties or wraps; then place the food on microwave safe dish on
metal tray in your oven and close the oven door.
Turn Control dial until display shows “dEF2”.
Press Enter/Start/Quick Start for category confirmation.
Turn Function selection dial to select Defrost.
The following indication is displayed: “ “
Press Enter/Start/Quick Start for mode confirmation.
Enter the weight of the frozen food that you are about to defrost.
Turn Control dial until display shows “0.8kg” for the weight of frozen
food.
Press Enter/Start/Quick Start.
Your oven has four microwave defrost
settings:- Meat, Poultry, Fish and Bread;
each defrost category has different
power settings.
Repeated presses of the Defrost button
will select a different setting.
The temperature and density of food varies, I would recommend that the food be checked before cooking
commences. Pay particular attention to large joints of meat and chicken, some foods should not be completely
thawed before cooking. For example fish cooks so quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while still
slightly frozen. The bread programme is suitable for defrosting small items such as rolls or a small loaf. These will
require a standing time to allow the centre to thaw. In the following example I will show you how to defrost 0.8Kg
of frozen poultry.
During defrosting your oven will “BEEP”, at which point open the oven door, turn food over and separate to
ensure even thawing. Remove any portions that have thawed or shield them to help slow down thawing. After
checking, close the oven door and press Enter/Start/Quick Start to resume defrosting.
Your oven will not stop defrosting (even when the beep sounded) unless the door is opened.
