FOR BEST RESULTS
•
Defrost times are for thoroughly frozen
food that has been in the freezer for at least
24 hours and maintained at temperatures
of –18°C or lower.
•
When freezing meats, poultry and fish,
use good quality plastic wrap, bags and
containers.
•
Always freeze meats in a single layer no
thicker than 3–5 cm.
•
To separate meat, such as chicken pieces
or steak, place wax paper or plastic film
between each layer.
•
Ensure that all air has been removed and
packaging has been sealed securely.
•
Label the packs with type and cut of meat,
date and weight.
•
Remove any packaging and bags from
frozen meats before defrosting.
•
Shield thin ends of chops, steaks or
chicken with foil to prevent overheating
and cooking of those areas.
•
Position foods in a single layer with thinner
parts in the center and thicker ends around
the outside of the turntable.
•
After the defrost cycle, most foods will
still be somewhat icy in the center when
removed from the microwave. Stand food
for 5–15 minutes until completely thawed.

suitable for defrosting meat such as beef, lamb
and pork.
It is important that the frozen meat is no

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 to restart program.
At the end of the program, remove meat and
stand 5–15 minutes to thaw completely.
