Defrost
Four defrost sequences are preset in the oven. The
defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting
method for frozen foods. The cooking guide will show
you which defrost sequence is recommended for the
food you are defrosting.
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes a
built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check,
turn over, separate, or rearrange to get best defrost
results. Four different defrosting levels are provided.

Operating Tips:
• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic
package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold
steam and juice close to the foods, which can
cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
• For best results, shape your ground meat into
the form of a doughnut before freezing. When
defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep
sounds and continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow container or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
• Food should still be somewhat icy in the center
when removed from the oven.
