Operation

Auto Defrost

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 according to the weight you

enter. For added convenience, the AUTO DEFROST beeps to remind

you to check or turn over the food during the defrost cycle.

After touching the Auto Defrost pad once, select the food weight.

Available weight ranges are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.

Example : To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat.

1 Touch Auto Defrost pad.

2 Enter the weight.

3 Touch ENTER/START pad.

Note

• After you touch ENTER/ START pad, the display counts

down the defrost time. The oven will beep twice during the

Defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn the food as

needed. Remove any portions that have thawed then return

frozen portions to the oven and touch ENTER/START pad to

resume the defrost cycle.

• The oven will not stop during the BEEP unless the door

is opened.

Defrost 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.

• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become

warm.

• You can use small pieces of alu-minum foil to shield foods like

chicken wings, leg tips, and ﬁsh tails, but the foil must not touch

the side of the oven. Foil causes arcing, which can damage the

oven lining.
