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.

1600g, 1800g, 2000g).

Notes for WEIGHT DEFROST:
• Before freezing foods, ensure food is fresh and of good quality.

defrosting. Ensure the foil does not touch the oven walls.
