NOTE: 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.
x 4
Defrost automatically defrosts ground meat, steaks, chops and poultry. 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.)
• Suppose you want to defrost a 2.0 lb steak.
NOTE:
1. Defrost can only be entered within 3 minutes
after cooking, opening and closing the door or
touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.
2. Defrost can be programmed with More or Less
Time Adjustment. See page 16.
3. You may choose to enter the weight in tenths of
pounds. This procedure may be easier with
larger weights such as 3.0 lb because it requires
fewer touches. To program, touch DEFROST
and enter weight by touching the number pads.
Example: touch DEFROST then 3 and 0 for a
weight of three pounds. If you attempt to enter
more or less than the allowed amount,
will appear in the display.
4. To defrost other foods or foods above or below
the weights allowed on DEFROST CHART be-
low, use time and 30% power. See Manual De-
frost on page 12.
You do not need to select
food. To enter weight, touch
the DEFROST pad for a .5 lb
increase per touch.
Quickly touch DEFROST
pad 4 times for 2.0 lb be-
cause the oven starts auto-
matically.
After the 1st stage, open the door.
Turn steak over and shield any warm por-
tions. Close the door.
Touch START pad.
After the 2nd stage, open the door. Shield
any warm portions. Close the door.
Touch START pad.
The oven will stop so that the food can be
checked.
After defrost cycle ends, cover and let stand
as indicated in chart below.
