USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
AUTO DEFROST
AUTO DEFROST thaws frozen food without entering
a cook lime or cook power. Three defrost categories
are preset in your oven; Meat, Poultry, and Fish. See
the “Auto Defrost Charf below.
NOTES:
• For added convenience. AUTO DEFROST has a
built-in reminder tone to tel! you when to check, turn
over, separate, or rearrange food. The oven will
sourtd a tone twice during the defrost cycle. At each
tone, open the door and turn, saparate, or rearrange
food. Remove any portions that have thawed.
Return frozen portion to the oven and touch START
to resume the defrost cycle.
• You car: defrost foods that weigh 0.1 to 6.0 lbs
(0.1-4.0 kg).
For best resyits:
• Remove fish, shetifish, meat, and poultry from its
originat dosed 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.
« Shape ground meat into the form of a doughrrut
before freezing. When defrosting, remove thawed
meat when the reminder tone sounds and continue
defrosting.
■> Place foods In a shallow container or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
» Food should still be somewhat icy in the center
when removed from the oven.
Example: To cJefrosi 1.2 ibs, of ground beef.
