thoroughly heated after cooking. If necessary, you can extend the cooking time manually.

•  Before freezing foods, ensure food is fresh and of good quality.

NOTES FOR EXPRESS 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.
