Meat
The SMART DEFROST MEAT setting is
suitable to defrost any type of ground or diced
meat such as beef, lamb and pork.
It is important that the frozen meat is not
thicker than ¾ inch.
Remove any packaging, foam trays and
absorbent pads from the meat.
Place directly onto a microwave-safe plate or
shallow dish.
Halfway through the defrost program, the oven
will beep and will flash STIR/TURN FOOD.
Pause and remove any defrosted meat and set
aside in the refrigerator. Turn the frozen meat
over and return to the microwave oven. Press
START button to restart setting.
At the end of the setting, remove meat and
stand 5–15 minutes to thaw completely.
Fish
The SMART DEFROST FISH setting is
programmed to gently thaw delicate fish fillets
without cooking and heating the edges.
For best results, place frozen fillets in a single
layer into a microwave-safe shallow dish.
Halfway through the defrost program, the oven
will beep and will flash STIR/TURN FOOD.
Pause and turn fish pieces over. Cover thin
ends of fish fillets with a small strip of foil
and return to oven. Press START button to
restart setting.
At the end of the program, the fish will still be
somewhat icy in the center. Remove from the
microwave and stand for 5–15 minutes until
completely thawed.
