■ Although the program defrosts
automatically, you should still check the
food frequently, just as for manual
defrosting.
■ For best results, first remove the
packaging around meat and fish.
Packaging can adversely affect the
defrosting process. The presence of liquid
from the fish or meat can lead to the
formation of steam, which then cooks the
outside of the food.
■ If the packaging is difficult to remove, it is
best to allow the food to defrost for one
quarter of the defrosting time, which is
shown in the display at the start of the
defrost program. Take the food out of the
microwave, remove the packaging and put
the food back.
■ Put the food in a shallow glass oven dish,
to catch any liquid that comes out of it.
■ The centre of the food should still feel
slightly frozen when you take it out of the
microwave.
■ Place slices of bread between sheets of
kitchen paper. Cut rolls in half first.
■ For other foods, select a power level of
40% (defrost) or 20% (defrost delicate).
The automatic cooking programs operate on a
fixed set time. You can shorten or increase
this time during the program using the "-" or
