OPERATION
AUTO DEFROST
Four defrost choices are preset in the oven. The defrost
feature provides you with the best defrosting method
for frozen foods, because the oven automatically sets
the defrosting times for each food item according to the
weight you enter. For added convenience, the AUTO
DEFROST includes a built-in tone mechanism that
reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange
the food during the defrost cycle. Four different
defrosting options are provided.
1. MEAT
2. POULTRY
3. FISH
4. BREAD
After touching the AUTO DEFROST pad once, select
the food category by touching number pad 1 (Meat),
2 (Poultry), 3 (Fish), or 4 (Bread). Available weight
ranges for Meat, Poultry, and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.
(0.1 to 4.0 kg). The available weight range for Bread is
0.1 to 1.0 lb. (0.1 to 0.5 kg).
NOTE:
When you touch the START/Pause pad, the display
changes to defrost time countdown. The oven will beep
during the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open the door
and turn, separate, or rearrange the food.
Remove any portions that have thawed. Return frozen
portions to the oven and touch START/Pause to
resume the defrost cycle. The oven will not CLEAR
during the BEEP unless the door is opened.
For best results:
• Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its
original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper).
Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to
the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the
foods to cook.
• Form the meat into the shape of a doughnut before
freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat
when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
• Foods should still be somewhat icy in the center when
removed from the oven.
