Defrost
The automatic Defrost feature can be used or the microwave
oven can be manually set to defrost.
■ Unwrap foods and remove lids (for example, from fruit juice
containers) before defrosting.
■ Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
■ Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the
end of the cycle for more even defrosting.
■ Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such
as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See “Aluminum Foil
and Metal” first.
The Defrost feature uses weight input. It should not be used for
food that has been left outside the freezer for more than
20 minutes, or for frozen ready-made food.
To Use Defrost:
1. Place food, uncovered, on the turntable and close the door.
2. Touch DEFROST. The default weight of 1.5 lbs will show in
the display.
3. Touch the [+] or [–] pad repeatedly to set the desired food
weight. Touching and holding the pad will cause the display
to scroll rapidly through the available weights, in 0.1-lb
increments.
Weight can be set from 0.2 lb to 3.3 lbs (90 g to 1.5 kg).
4. Touch START.
The display will count down the defrost time.
During defrosting, 3 tones will sound, and the display will
show the “turn Food” prompt. Open door, turn food if
necessary, close door, and touch START to resume
defrosting. If no action is taken, the Defrost cycle will
automatically resume in 2 minutes. Touching START during
the 2 minute pause will also resume the cycle, without having
to open the door.
When the cycle ends, “End” will appear in the display, and the
end-of-cycle tones will sound.
5. Touch CANCEL/OFF or open the door to clear the display
and/or stop reminder tones.
NOTE: Defrost times and cook power cannot be changed during
an automatic Defrost cycle.

section, and use 25% cooking power. See “Microwave Cooking
Power” chart.
