Auto Defrost; Auto Defrost Table - Kenmore MC-1083KS Use And Care Manual

USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

AUTO DEFROST

Four defrost choices are preset in the oven. The defrost
feature provides you with the best defrosting method for
frozen foods because the oven automatically sets the
defrosting times for each food item according to the
weight you enter. For added convenience, the AUTO
DEFROST includes a built-in tone mechanism that
reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange
the food during the defrost cycle. Four different
defrosting options are provided.
1. MEAT
2. POULTRY
3. FISH
4. BREAD
After touching the AUTO DEFROST button once, select
the food category by turning the dial. Available weight
ranges for Meat, Poultry and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.
The available weight range for Bread is 0.1 to 1.0 lb.
Example : To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat.

NOTE: After you touch START button, the display
counts down the defrost time. The oven will beep once
during the Defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and
turn, separate, or rearrange the food as needed.
Remove any portions that have thawed then return
frozen portions to the oven and touch START button 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.
• Form the meat into the shape of a doughnut before
freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat
when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
• Foods should still be somewhat icy in the center
when removed from the oven.
