USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
AUTO DEFROST
ThrBe defrost sequences are preset in the oven.
The auto defrost feature provides you with the best
defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking guide
will show you which defrost sequence is recommended
for the food you are defrosting.
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes
a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check,
turn over, separate, or rearrange to get best defrost
results. Three different defrosting levels are provided.
1 MEAT
2 POULTRY
3 FISH

tones and one long
tone will sound.
NOTE:
When you touch the START pad, the display changes
to defrost time count down. 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 to resume the defrost cycle.
OPERATING TIPS
• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic pack­
age {wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam
and juice close to the foods, which can cause the
outer surface of the foods to cook.
• Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when
removed from the oven.
AUTO DEFROST GUIDE
End
For best results, shape your ground meat into the
form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,
scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and
continue defrosting.
Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave
roasting rack to catch drippings.
