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. Programmes Defrosting times Foods covered with ice crystals will take longer to defrost. You should increase the defrosting time accordingly. The defrost time depends on the shape, size, initial temperature and quality of the food.

Do not defrost food immediately after using the fan oven programme. Wait approximately ten minutes for the appliance to cool for best results.
