DEFROST automatically defrosts all the
foods found in the Defrost Guide by
using microwaves to lightly heat the food.
Microwave-safe dishes are necessary for
good results.
Suppose you want to defrost a 2 pound
steak:
1) Place steak in microwave-safe dish on
turntable.
2) Touch DEFROST once.
3) Select desired food by touching DEFROST
until the display shows the food name.
Example: Touch twice to select STEAKS.
4) Enter weight. Example: Touch numbers 2
and 0 for 2.0 lb.
5) Touch START/QUICK ON. The oven will
stop so the food can be checked.
The display will show:
6) After the first stage, open the door. Turn

Ground Meat 1 / 2 –3 lb Remove any thawed pieces
(200–1400 g) after each stage. Let stand,
covered, for 5–10 minutes.
Steaks, Chops 1 / 2 –4 lb After each stage, rearrange
or Fish (200–1800 g) and if there are warm or
thawed portions, shield with
small flat pieces of aluminum
foil. Remove any meat or fish
that is almost defrosted.
Let stand, covered, for 10–20
minutes.
Chicken Pieces 1 / 2 –3 lb After each stage, rearrange
(200–1400 g) pieces or remove portions
should they become warm or
thawed. Let stand, covered,
for 10–20 minutes.
NOTES:
Check foods when oven signals. After final
stage, small sections may still be icy. Let
stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost
until all ice crystals are thawed.
Shielding prevents cooking from occurring
before the center of the food is defrosted.
Use small smooth strips of aluminum foil to
cover edges and thinner sections of the
food.
If you attempt to enter more or less that the
allowed amount as indicated in the chart, an
error message will appear in the display.
DEFROST can be programmed with More or
Less Time Adjustment.
To defrost other foods or foods above the
weights allowed on the Defrost Guide, see
Manual Defrost.
Dimensions in parentheses are in
millimeters unless otherwise specified.
