Jacket potatoes: In this menu, the weight is input in pieces (i.e 1 piece = 1 potato = 250g).
(EC-5)

After selecting menu, use the POWER/WEIGHT key to select number of pieces from  1 - 4.

This menu has one setting for 700g. It is not necessary to enter the weight. When you

select this menu, the display will show 0.7 kg automatically. See recipes on page 30 in
the cookbook section.

Selecting Menu: The menu will be changed automatically by holding down the EXPRESS COOK or

EXPRESS DEFROST key.

Food weight should be rounded up or down to the nearest 0.1 kg  e.g. 0.65kg to 0.7kg

pressing, until the desired weight appears. To cook or defrost food which is not included in
the EXPRESS COOK/DEFROST chart, please refer to the charts in the coobook section.

If necessary, shield small areas of meat or poultry with flat pieces of aluminium foil. This
will prevent thin areas becoming warm during defrosting. Ensure the foil does not touch
the oven walls.  Do not cook the meat or poultry until thoroughly defrosted.

Freezing Foods: When freezing foods for EXPRESS COOK, ensure the food is fresh and of good quality.

When action is required (example, to turn food over) the oven stops and the audible signals sound, the
remaining cooking time and any indicator will flash on the display. To continue cooking, press the
START/AUTO MINUTE key.

• The final temperature will vary according to the initial food temperature. Check food is piping hot after

cooking.  If necessary, you can extend the cooking manually.

• If you use the AUTO MINUTE function during EXPRESS COOK/DEFROST operation, the food may be

overcooked.

This function enables you to cook or defrost the foods listed on the control panel (see EXPRESS COOK/
DEFROST charts on the page 10).

To operate the EXPRESS COOK/DEFROST function, follow the example given below.

Example: To  cook roast beef from chilled weighing 1.0 kg on EXPRESS COOK EC-2.
