Auto Defrost by Weight is an accurate defrosting method for meat, poultry, fish or bread. The plus or minus adjust may be used to increase or decrease the pre-set defrosting times as required. No other changes to the programmes are possible, so if necessary, cancel and reprogramme as required. The feature also has a built-in pause mechanism to allow for checking and stirring or rearranging the food. The oven stops approximately one-third of the way through the defrost period and 2 soft audible bell sounds are emitted. If you do not open the door at the pause, the oven restarts after about 2 minutes and commences the remaining defrost period. To cancel the pause period, simply touch Start and the programme will continue.
Example: To defrost 1000g of meat:
1 Touch Pause/Clear 2 Touch AUTO DEFROST button 4 times "MEAT DEFROST - SET WEIGHT" appears in the display 3 Turn the Setting Control Knob clockwise until 1000g is displayed "PRESS START" appears in the display 4 Touch Start
At the end of the defrosting time, the oven will automatically stop. The cooling fan and oven light will still be on until the turntable has returned to its original position. When the oven has switched off completely, 1 soft audible bell sound will be heard and END will appear in the display. At this stage, it is not possible to enter any further programmes. To enter another programme you will have to press the stop/clear button. When the defrosting time has expired, if there is no action taken, 2 soft tones will be heard every 30 seconds for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, three soft tones will be heard, and the window display will revert to the time of day.
