Midway through the programme, three short beeps will be heard. Stir or turn the food item at this time. The programme is not interrupted.

Defrosting Tips

1.It is better to underestimate defrosting time if you are unsure. Food will continue to defrost during the standing time.

2.Separate food into smaller pieces as soon as possible.

3.Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway through the defrosting time.

4.Remove any thawed food as soon as possible.

5.Remove or open any packaging before defrosting.

6.Place food in a larger container than that which it was frozen in to allow for easy stirring.

7.Begin thawing poultry breast side down and turn over halfway through defrosting time. Delicate areas such as wing tips can be shi- elded with small pieces of smooth foil.

8.Standing time is very important, particularly for large, dense foods which cannot be stir- red in order to ensure that the centre is com- pletely defrosted before cooking.

Manual defrosting

For manual defrosting (without using Auto Defrost features) use 150W. To speed up the

defrosting of dense foods over 450g (1lb), the oven may be started on full power for 1–3

minutes, then be reduced to 150W until defrosting is complete.
