Defrosting Tips
1 . It is better to underestimate defrosting time if you are
unsure. Food will continue to defrost during the stan-
ding time.
2. Separate food as soon as possible.
3. Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway through the
defrosting time, or at pause.
4. Remove any thawed food as soon as possible.
5. Remove or open any packaging before defrosting.
6. Place food in a larger container than that in which it
was frozen, this will allow for easy stirring.
7. Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and turn
over halfway through defrosting time or at pause.
Delicate areas such as wing tips can be shielded
with small pieces of smooth foil.
8. Standing time is very important, particularly for large,
dense foods which cannot be stirred to
ensure that the centre is completely defrosted
before cooking.
Example: To defrost a 1.0 Kg of Chicken:
1. Press the button for Automatic Defrost
until JJ11 appears in the display.
2. Use the Timer/weight knob to set the weight.
3. Press the Start button. The display shows
the defrost time.
4. If you want to modify the settings,
press the Clear button and start again.
Midway through the programme, three short beeps will be heard. Stir or turn the food item at this time.
The programme is not interrupted.

Manual defrosting
For manual defrosting (without using Auto Defrost features) use 150W. To speed up the defrosting of dense foods over
450g (1lb), the oven may be started on full power for 1–3 minutes, then be reduced to 150W until defrosting is com-
plete.
