Defrosting Guide; Suitable Ovenware - Sharp R-200 Mode D'emploi

This guide is designed to make defrosting specifi c foods easier.
It can be used for defrosting: Chicken portions, chops, fi sh (whole or fi llets), minced meat and sausages.
Example: To defrost 0.4 kg of chicken portions:
1. Place chicken portions in a flan dish, and place on the turntable into the oven.
2. Turn the MICROWAVE POWER CONTROL knob to DEFROST setting (MEDIUM LOW).
3. Turn the TIMER/ DEFROST GUIDE to 0.4 kg setting. The oven will start immediately. Turn the chicken por-
tions over 1-2 times during defrosting.
4. After defrosting, cover the food in foil and leave to stand until thoroughly defrosted.
Note: The defrosting time is based on standard conditions. Please check the defrosting result and, if necessary, ad-
just the defrosting times accordingly.
To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to
penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware.
Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. A variety
of cookware can be used as listed below.
