WEIGHT DEFROST AND TIME DEFROST FUNCTION

1. WEIGHT DEFROST

The microwave oven is pre-programmed with a timer and power levels so that foods such as pork, beef and chicken can be easily defrosted. The weight range for this is from 100g – 2000g (there are 13 steps total: 100g, 200g, 300g, 400g, 500g, 600g, 800g, 1000g, 1200g, 1400g, 1600g, 1800g, 2000g).
