Chaos defrost
This feature allows you to defrost minced meat, chops, chicken portions, meat joints and 
bread. Tap Chaos defrost to select the correct defrost category and then enter in the weight 
of the food in grams (see page 62).
Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on 
an upturned saucer or on a microwave safe plate. Chops, chicken portions and slices of 
bread should be placed in a single layer. It is not necessary to cover the foods.
The CHAOS Theory principle is used in auto weight defrost programs to give you a quick 
and more even defrost. The CHAOS system uses a random sequence of pulsing
microwave energy which speeds up the defrosting process. During the program the oven 
will beep to remind you to check the food. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU TURN AND STIR 
THE FOOD FREQUENTLY AND SHIELD IF NECESSARY. On hearing the fi rst beep you 
should TURN and SHIELD (if possible). On the second beep you should turn the food or 
break it up.

Note:
1.  Check foods during defrosting. Foods 
vary in their defrosting speed.
2.  It is not necessary to cover the food.
3.  Always turn or stir the food especially 
when the oven “beeps”. Shield if 
necessary (see point 5).
4.  Minced meat/chops/chicken portions 
should be broken up or separated as 
soon as possible and placed in a single 
layer. 
5.  Shielding prevents food cooking. It is 
essential when defrosting chickens and 
joints of meat. The outside thaws out 
fi rst, so protect wings/breast/fat with 
smooth pieces of aluminium foil secured 
with cocktail sticks.
6.  Allow standing time so that the centre of 
the food thaws out. (minimum 1 hour for 
joints of meat and whole chickens)
