FOR BEST RESULTS
• Defrost times are for thoroughly frozen
foods that has been in the freezer for
at least 24 hours and maintained at
temperatures of –18°C or lower.
• When freezing meats, poultry and fish,
use good quality plastic wrap, bags
and containers.
• Always freeze meats in a single layer not
thicker than 2cm.
• To separate meat, such as chicken pieces
or steak, place wax paper or plastic film
between each layer.
• For best results, form mince meat into a
doughnut shape before freezing.
• Ensure that all air has been removed and
packaging has been sealed securely.
• Label the packs with type and cut of meat,
date and weight.
• After the defrost cycle, most foods will
still be somewhat icy in the centre when
removed from the microwave. Stand food
for 5–15 minutes until completely thawed.
• Shield thin ends of chops, steaks or
chicken with foil to prevent overheating
and cooking of those areas.
• Position foods in a single layer with thinner
parts in the centre and thicker ends around
the outside of the turntable.
• Remove any packaging and bags from
frozen meats. If packaging is too frozen
to remove, defrost for 3 minutes using
the TIME DEFROST setting; remove
packaging and continue with the
SMART DEFROST setting.
Chicken
For chicken pieces, position chicken pieces in
a single layer in a microwave-safe dish, plate
or container.
Arrange thicker ends around the outside
of the plate/container. Shield thinner pieces
such as wings with foil to prevent overheating
and cooking.
Halfway through the defrost setting,
the microwave will beep and will flash
Stir/turn food.
Pause and turn over chicken pieces. Reseal and
press START button to restart program.
Once program has finished, remove chicken
from microwave and stand 15–30 minutes to
thaw completely.
For whole chickens, remove from original
packaging. Shield wings and leg tips with foil.
Place chicken, breast side down onto
a microwave-safe rack placed over a plate
to catch the drips.
Halfway through the defrost program, the oven
will beep and will flash Stir/turn food.
Pause and turn chicken over. Place a strip
of foil large enough to cover the breast
meat and also the parson’s nose. Reseal and
press START button to restart defrost program.
After defrost cycle has ended, remove chicken
from microwave and discard foil. Rinse under
tap water, making sure to wash the cavity well
to loosen the icy core.
Place onto a clean plate and pat dry. Cover with
cling film and refrigerate for 1–2 hours until
completely thawed.
