Chicken
For chicken pieces; position chicken pieces in a
single layer in a microwave-safe dish, plate
or container.
Arrange thicker ends around the outside of the
turntable. Shield thinner pieces such as wings
with foil to prevent overheating and cooking.
Halfway through the defrost program, the oven
will beep and will flash "stir/turn food".
Pause and turn over chicken pieces. Press
START/+30 SEC button to restart program.
Once program has finished, remove chicken
from oven and stand 15–30 minutes to
thaw completely.
For whole chickens, remove from original
packaging. Shield wings and leg tips with foil.
Place chicken, breast side down onto a
microwave-safe rack placed over a plate to
catch the drips.
Halfway through the defrost program, the oven
will beep and will flash "stir/turn food".
Pause and turn chicken over. Place a strip of
foil large enough to cover the breast meat and
also the tail. Press START/+30 button to restart
defrost program.
After defrost cycle has ended, remove chicken
from microwave and discard foil. Rinse under
tap water, making sure to wash the cavity well
to loosen the icy core.
Place onto a clean plate and pat dry. Cover with
cling film and refrigerate for 1–2 hours until
completely thawed.
Meat
The SMART DEFROST MEAT setting is
suitable for defrosting meat such as beef, lamb
and pork.
It is important that the frozen meat is no
thicker than 2cm / ¾ inch.
Remove any packaging, foam trays and
absorbent pads from the meat.
Place directly onto a microwave-safe plate or
shallow dish and preferably place dish onto a
microwave-safe rack or upturned bowl or mug.
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/+30 SEC button to restart program.
At the end of the program, 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.
Place dish onto a microwave-safe rack or
upturned bowl or mug.
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/+30 SEC button
to restart program.
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.
