DEFROST
DEFROST automatically defrosts all the foods shown in the
DEFROST TABLE.
Round the weight to the nearest half pound. (Ex: if the steak’s
actual weight is 2.2 lb round to 2.0 lb If the steak’s weight is
2.4 lb round to 2.5 lb.)
To enter weight, touch the desired DEFROST pad for a 0.5 lb
increase per touch. (Ex: touch four times for 2.0 lb.)
You must enter the weight within 1 second of touching the
Defrost pad, or the oven will begin defrosting. To return to
adjust the weight, you must touch Stop twice.
• Suppose you want to defrost a 2.0 pound steak.
1 .Quickly touch Steak/Chops pad 4 times for 2.0 lb. The
microwave oven will start automatically.
The microwave oven will stop and directions will be
displayed. Follow the indicated message.
2. After the 1st stage, open the door, turn steak over and
shield any warm portions with aluminum foil. Close the
door. Touch START pad.
3. After the 2nd stage, open the door and shield any warm
portions. Close the door. Touch START pad.

weight as indicated in table, ERROR will appear in
the display.
2. DEFROST can be programmed with More or Less
Time Adjustment. See page 15.
3. To defrost other foods or foods above or below the
weights allowed on DEFROST TABLE use time and
30% power. See Manual Defrost on page 10.
4. You may choose to enter the weight in tenths of
a pound. This procedure may be easier with larger
weights, such as 3 pounds, because it requires fewer
touches. To program, touch desired DEFROST pad
and enter weight by touching the number pads. Ex:
touch Steaks/Chops then 3 and 0 for a weight of
three pounds or touch Steaks/Chops then 2 and 2
for a weight of 2.2 lb.
