WEIGHT DEFROST AND TIME DEFROST FUNCTION
1. WEIGHT DEFROST
The microwave oven is pre-programmed with a timer and power levels so that foods such as pork, beef
and chicken can be easily defrosted. The weight range for this is from 100g – 2000g (there are 13 steps
total: 100g, 200g, 300g, 400g, 500g, 600g, 800g, 1000g, 1200g, 1400g, 1600g, 1800g, 2000g).
Follow the example below for guidance on how to operate these functions.
Example: To defrost a meat joint weighing 1.2kg using WEIGHT DEFROST.
Place the meat in a fl an dish or alternatively on a microwave oven defrost rack on the turntable.
1. Select the menu required by
pressing the WEIGHT/TIME
DEFROST button once.

3. Press the START/+30sec./
ENTER button to start
defrosting. The microwave
and defrost indicators will
illuminate and “g” indicator
will disappear. (The display
will count down through

Frozen foods are defrosted from -18°C.
Notes for WEIGHT DEFROST:
• Before freezing foods, ensure food is fresh and of good quality.
• Place food with a weight less than 200g at the edge of the turntable try to avoid placing it in the cen-
tre of the turntable.
• Food weight should be rounded up to the nearest 100g, for example, 650g to 700g.
• 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.
