WEIGHT RANGE FOR AUTO DEFROST:

• You are restricted to defrost a weight within the range given in the chart.
• To defrost weights or foods not included in this chart, please refer to the charts in the cookbook

section.

• For converting to lbs/oz refer to the conversion chart page 26.

NOTES FOR AUTO DEFROST:
• If necessary, shield small areas of meat or poultry with small flat pieces of aluminium foil.

This will prevent the areas from becoming warm during defrosting. Ensure the foil does not touch
the oven walls.

• Do not cook the meat or poultry until thoroughly defrosted.
• When action is required (example, to turn food over), the oven stops, the audible signals sound and

instructions will appear on the display. To continue defrosting, press the START/AUTO MINUTE
button.

• Do not use the AUTO MINUTE function during AUTO DEFROST, as the food may be overcooked.
