DEFROST
Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.
The auto 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
the food in
order to get the best defrost results. Three different
defrosting
levels are provided:
1. MEAT
2. POULTRY
3. FiSH

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, roll your ground meat into a ball
before freezing.
During the DEFROST cycle, the
microwave
will signal when it is time to turn the
meat over. Scrape off any excess frost from the
meat and continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow container
or on a
microwave
roasting rack to catch drippings.
This table shows food type selections and the
weights you can set for each type. For best results,
loosen or remove covering on food.

conversion
table
You are probably
used to measuring
food in pounds
and ounces that are fractions
of a pound (for
example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However,
in order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you
must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.
If the weight on the food package
is in fractions
of
a pound, you can use the following
table to convert
the weight to decimals.
