Defrost

Defrost automatically defrosts all the foods shown in the Defrost Chart.
Round the weight to the nearest half pound. (Ex: if the steak's actual weight is 2.2 lb. round to 2.0 lb. If the steak's weight
is 2.4 lb. round to 2.5 lb.).
To enter weight, touch the desired Defrost pad for a 0.5 lb increase per touch. (Ex: touch four times for 2.0 lb.)
• Steak (2.0 lbs)
1. Touch Steaks/Chops pad 4 times for 2.0 lb.The oven will start automatically. The oven will stop and directions will be
displayed.
2. After the first stage, open the door, turn steak over and shield any warm portions. Close the door. Touch START/Add-
A-Minute pad.
3. After the second stage, open the door. Shield any warm portions. Close the door. Touch START/Add-A-Minute pad.
4. After defrost cycle ends, cover and let stand as indicated in the chart below.
NOTE:
• Any Defrost choice can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. Touch the Power Level pad once or twice
after selecting the amount. See page 22.
• To defrost other foods or foods above or below the weights allowed on the Defrost Chart, use time and 30% power.
See Manual Defrost on page 20.
• If you attempt to enter more or less than the allowed amount as indicated in the chart below,
the display.
• You may choose to enter the weight in tenths of pounds. This procedure may be easier with larger weights, such as
3 pounds, because it requires fewer touches. To program, touch desired Defrost pad and enter weight by touching the
number pads. Ex: touch Steaks/Chops then 3 and 0 for a weight of three pounds or touch Steaks/Chops then 2 and 2
for a weight of 2.2 lb.
Food Amount
Ground Meat .5 - 2.0 lb.
Steaks/Chops .5 - 3.0 lb.

NOTE:
• Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not
defrost until all ice crystals are thawed.
• Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth strips of
aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.
