food you are defrosting and automatically sets
the defrosting times and power levels to give
even defrosting results for that type of food.

2 From the Defrost Screen, select BY FOOD.
3 Select the food type from the touchscreen.
4 Using the Conversion Guide at right, enter
the food weight using the numbers on the
touchscreen. For example, press 1 and 2 for

ENTER
when finished. Press CLEAR to
erase the weight you entered or BACK to
select a different food type.
5 Check to make sure the food type and time

touchscreen.
• Remove meat from package and place on
microwave-safe dish.
• If the oven signals “TURN FOOD OVER,”
turn the food over and break apart or
rearrange pieces for more even defrosting.
Shield any warm areas with small pieces of
foil. The oven will continue to defrost if you
don’t open the door and turn the food.
• After defrosting, most meats need to stand
5 minutes to complete defrosting. Large
roasts should stand for about 30 minutes.
Conversion Guide
If the weight of food is stated in pounds and
ounces, the ounces must be converted to
