English Turbo defrost This feature allows you to defrost minced meat, chops, chicken portions, meat joints and bread. Tap Turbo defrost to select the correct defrost category and then enter in the weight of the food in grams (see pages 46-47). Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on an upturned saucer or on a microwave safe plate. Chops, chicken portions and slices of bread should be placed in a single layer. It is not necessary to cover the foods. The principle used in auto weight defrost programs gives you a quick and more even defrost. The system uses a random sequence of pulsing microwave energy which speeds up the defrosting process. During the program the oven will beep to remind you to check the food. It is essential that you turn and stir the food frequently and shield if necessary. On hearing the rst beep you should turn and shield (if possible). On the second beep you should turn the food or break it up. Note

1. Check foods during defrosting. Foods vary in their defrosting speed.

2. It is not necessary to cover the food.

4. Minced meat/chops/chicken portions should be broken up or separated as soon

as possible and placed in a single layer.

5. Shielding prevents food cooking. It is essential when defrosting chickens and

joints of meat. The outside thaws out rst, so protect wings/breast/fat with smooth pieces of aluminium foil secured with cocktail sticks.

6. Allow standing time so that the centre of the food thaws out (minimum 1-2 hours

for joints of meat and whole chickens).

2. Allow standing time to ensure the food is completely defrosted.

3. If ‘HOT’ appears in the display window, the oven temperature is too high from

previous use and an auto program can not be set. Cooking mode and time may still be set manually. Guidelines

1. SMALL PIECES (mince/chops/chicken portions)

Chops and chicken portions should be arranged in a single layer and turned frequently during defrosting. It is necessary for mince to be broken up frequently during defrosting and this is best carried out in a large shallow Pyrex® dish. Standing time 20-30 minutes. Not suitable for sausages , these can be defrosted manually. Please refer to defrosting chart in the cookbook on page 24.

Whole chickens and meat joints will require shielding during defrosting especially if it is a particularly fatty piece. This is to prevent food starting to cook on the outside edges. Protect wings, breast and fat with smooth pieces of aluminium foil secured with cocktail sticks. Do not allow the foil to touch the walls of the oven. Standing time of at least 1-2 hours should be allowed for joints after defrosting.

This program is suitable for small items which are required for immediate use, they may feel warm straight after defrosting. Loaves can also be defrosted on this program but these will require standing time to allow the centre to thaw out. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated and buns and loaves cut in half. Items should be turned during defrosting. Standing time 10- 30 minutes. A longer time may be needed for large loaves. This program is not suitable for cream cakes or desserts e.g. cheesecake.
