AUTO DEFROST

Three 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. Three different defrosting options are provided.

1. MEAT
2. POULTRY
3. FISH

After touching AUTO DEFROST once, select the food
category. Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry
and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.

NOTE:

After you touch START, the display counts down

the defrost time. The oven will beep once during the

defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn,
separate, or rearrange the food as needed. Remove
any portions that have thawed then return frozen
portions to the oven and touch START to resume
the defrost cycle.
The oven will not stop during the beep unless
the door is opened.

DEFROSTING TIPS

When using

AUTO

DEFROST, the weight to be

entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of

pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

Use

AUTO

DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO

DEFROST gives best results when food to be

thawed is a minimum of 0 F (taken directly from a
true freezer). If food has

been stored in a

refrigerator-freezer that does

not maintain a

temperature of 5 F

or below, always program a

lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time)

to prevent cooking the food.

If the

food is stored outside the freezer for up to

20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.

The

shape of the package alters the defrosting

time.

Shallow rectangular packets defrost more

quickly than a deep block.

Separate pieces

as they begin to defrost.

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

You

can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield

shieldfoods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish

tailsbut the foil must not touch the side of the

oven.Foil causes arcing, which can damage the

Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if

they start to become warm.

For even, complete defrosting, use the defrosting

rack.

For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on

a microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents

the possibility of warm meat juices cooking food

during defrost.
