USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

AUTO DEFROST

AUTO DEFROST thaws frozen food without entering
a cook time or cook power. Three defrost categories
are preset in your oven: Ground Meat, Poultry, and
Steaks/Chops. See the Auto Defrost Chart below.
NOTES:
• For added convenience, AUTO DEFROST has a
built-in reminder tone to tell you when to check, turn
over, separate, or rearrange food. The oven will sound a
tone during the defrost cycle. At each tone, open the
door and turn, separate, or rearrange food. Remove any
portions that have thawed. Return frozen portion to the
oven and touch START to resume the defrost cycle.
• You can defrost foods that weigh 0.1 to 6.0 lbs
(0.1-4.0 kgs).
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.
• Shape ground meat into the form of a doughnut before
freezing. When defrosting, remove thawed meat when
the reminder tone 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.
