Defrosting guidelines
For Best Results
1. Place foods in a suitable container. Meat
joints and chickens should be placed on
an upturned saucer or on a plastic rack
if you have one.
2. Check food during defrosting, as 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 6).
5. Minced meat, chops, chicken portions
and other small items 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
fi rst, so protect wings/breast and 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 of 1 hour
for joints of meat and whole chickens).
Arrange food in a single layer.
Turn or break up food as soon as possible.
Shield chickens and joints of meat.
By selecting the DEFROST power level from
the microwave power key and setting a time,
you can defrost food in your microwave. The
biggest problem is getting the inside defrosted
before the outside starts to cook.
For this reason a defrost program alternates
between a defrost power and a standing time.
The name for this type of defrost is cyclic.
During the standing stages there is not any
microwave power in the oven, although the
light will remain on.
The automatic stand times ensure a more
even defrost but it is still necessary to allow
for standing times before use.
