WEIGHT DEFROST FUNCTION
WEIGHT DEFROST

and chicken can be easily defrosted. The weight range for this is from 100g – 2000g in 100g steps.
Follow the example below for details on how to operate this function.

NOTE:
• Frozen foods are defrosted from -18°C.

• If necessary, shield small areas of meat or poultry with fl at pieces of aluminium foil. This will prevent
the areas from becoming warm during defrosting. Ensure the foil does not touch the oven walls.
• Food weight should be rounded up to the nearest 100g, for example, 650g to 700g.
