Panasonic nn-c1358 User Manual

The ability to defrost foods quickly is another excellent benefit of your oven. The quality of the defrosted food
will depend a great deal on the care the food receives in freezing and defrosting, so always ensure that the
best food is frozen and that it is packaged correctly.
Ensure the freezer is running at the correct temperature (-18˚C or below) and that it is not overloaded with
food or ice. Always label and date foods so that they can be used in strict rotation.
Always defrost using the Defrost power setting. NEVER try to hurry the defrosting by selecting a higher power
level as this will only over-defrost the food, causing it to become tough and inedible and leading to waste.
