Auto Defrost - Amana M1020E Owner's Manual & Cooking Manual

AUTO DEFROST

Three 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. With the Auto Defrost
feature, the oven automatically sets the defrosting
time and power levels for you.
The oven automatically determines required
defrosting times for each food item according to the
weight you enter.
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost Feature
contains a built-in beep mechanism that lets you
check, turn over, separate or rearrange.
Three different defrosting levels are provided.
1 MEAT
2 POULTRY
3 FISH

once (MEAT), twice (POULTRY), or three times

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
When you touch the START pad, the display changes
to defrost time count down. The oven will beep twice
during the DEFROST cycle. At each beep, open the
door and turn, separate or rearrange the food.
Remove any portions that have thawed.
Return frozen portions to the oven and touch START
to resume the defrost cycle. The oven will not STOP
during the BEEP unless the door is opened.
*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.
*Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
*Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when
removed from the oven.
