Microwave Help Needed

[pdust]

I have this microwave http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4006426.htm?cmpid=COJUN&storeId=10151&_%24ja=tsid%3A11674%7Cprd%3A3086088&referredURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.argos.co.uk%2Fstatic%2FProduct%2FpartNumber%2F4006426.htm&referrer=COJUN

i lost instructions and now cant find out how to defrost something.... i click quick defrost and it shows in read out its on def2.... when i click start nothing happens.... i doubt its broken as ive rarely used it since i bought it so im assuming i need to click something else.... anyone any ideas?

ive looked online for instruction manual but cant find one for free :(

Hi pdust - I have been using microwaves from 1984 - and I never defrost - just put in as normal for (it depends what are you defrosting) minutes and when it begins say meat if there is a little blood coming out take it out and turn round - it willl still be a bit frozen inside but it will be okay. Then leave it for a while - I couldnt be arsed with defrost. Now if it was a bit lump of meat obviously that would be defrosted the night before -

Conne, I've done that too.
I've put in on lowest setting and blasted for a minute, then rotated the thing and another minute (or seconds depending upon what I'm defrosting)

Pixie, according to the blurb, there's some sort of automatic weighing for the m/wave. Is your turntable on properly?
(Silly question)

[pdust]

hi conne, lol thats what ive done in end... ive never used defrost on any microwave before but just once, today thought i would give it a go...

not silly question alba, but theres a auto weigh button and another for defrost.... neither work and my turntable is fine.... i seem to be missing an ^ and v button cos i cant even set clock.. i click to set and it flashes but none of hte buttons alter it from 00.00 lol

i did find this on my google travels... http://www.uglybloke.co.uk/userguides.html?oo=465&askid=dfed3bef-8cfb-4b7d-b24c-d50d4d4cd075-0-uk_gsb

and wondered if the email belonged to one of the news residents here on ab lol

I don't have that model but on mine:
def 1 meat
def 2 poultry
def 3 fish
def 4 bread.
You then have to put in the weight in kilograms before start (using up down buttons). Maybe that's the bit you're missing out?

[pdust]

hi prudie..that seems to be the problem...theres no up and down buttons :s but thanks x
