3. Defrost programmes
To defrost using your microwave, follow the steps below: Touch
Touch three times so d01 and show on the display.
Touch to confirm the defrost programme.
Touch or until the required defrost programme (d01-d04) shows on the display,
then touch to confirm the selection.
For d01, the programme time flashes on the display. For d02-d04 the weight will flash
on the display (100g is the preset weight, and also the minimum available).
Touch or until the required time (d01) or weight (d02-d04) shows on the display,
then touch to confirm the selection. The programme will start.
For d02-d04, the microwave automatically calculates the defrost time from the
programme type and the weight.
This microwave is equipped with four different defrost programmes, as detailed in the
table.
Programme
number Type of food to defrost Weight options
available
d01 Any other food or weight not available in programmes d02-d04. This programme
requires that you set the required defrosting time and runs at 200W. n/a
d02 Meat, poultry, fish and vegetables 100-2000g
d03 Bread 100-500g
d04 Pre-cooked foods 100-2000g
Please note
Foods with a weight over 350g should be turned halfway through defrosting. The
microwave will beep to remind you to turn the food over. Once the food is turned,
close the microwave door and touch to restart the defrosting programme.
Small cuts of meat or fish can be cooked immediately after defrosting.
Larger cuts, such as meat joints or whole fish, may still be slightly frozen at the end of
the defrost programme. You should let them rest for at least the same length of time
again as the defrost programme so that they reach an even temperature.
If the food to be defrosted is too big to allow the turntable to turn, touch to stop
the turntable. If the turntable is switched off, ensure the food is stirred regularly during
defrosting.
Defrost meat and fish by placing it on an upturned saucer on top of a plate to allow the
juices to flow out. If the juices remain in contact with the food, it may overheat.
Food should be removed from its packaging prior to defrosting. Ensure any metal
packaging is removed.
Never refreeze defrosted food, unless it has been cooked after defrosting.
