NOTES FOR EXPRESS DEFROST:

•If necessary, shield small areas of meat or poultry with 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.

•Do not use the racks or shelves for defrosting.

WEIGHT RANGE FOR EXPRESS COOK / EXPRESS DEFROST:

•Weigh all meat and poultry prior to cooking/defrosting as the labelled weight is only approximate.

•Food weight should be rounded up to the nearest 0.1kg, for example, 0.65kg to 0.7kg.

•You are restricted to cook/defrost a weight within the range given in the charts.

•To cook/defrost weights or foods not included in these charts, please refer to the charts in the cookbook section.
