Setting Defrost (by Time)

Special notes for defrosting by time

Defrosting tips

Example: to defrost food with the default 30% power level for 5 minutes:
1. Press Defrost pad twice. 0:00 will appear in the display.
2. Use the number pads to enter desired defrost time (defrost time may be set up to
99 minutes and 99 seconds).
3. Press START pad.
When heating has finished you will hear 5 beeps and "Good" will display.
Touch STOP pad or open door.
Note: Power levels cannot be changed for both defrost (by weight) or defrost (by
time) because the defrost performance will be adversely affected.
After pressing START/Pause key, the display will count down remaining defrost
D
time. The oven will beep twice during the defrost cycle. At this time open the door
and turn the food if needed and remove any portions that have already thawed.
Touch the START/Pause key to resume the defrost cycle.
When heating has finished you will hear 5 beeps.

When using the defrost weight feature, the weight entered should always be
D
pounds (valid entries are from 0.1 to 6.0 pounds).
Use both defrost weight and defrost time features for raw food items only.
D
Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0ºF (taken
directly from a true freezer). If the 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 or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.
If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a
D
reduced cook time or weight.
The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular food
D
packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated frozen pieces of food defrost
D
better.
Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.
D
You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items like chicken
D
wings, leg tips and fish tails, but do not allow the foil to touch the oven cavity
walls when defrosting.
