Auto Defrost - Electrolux EMOW1911AS User Manual

Using Auto Defrost
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
Available weight is 0.1-6.0 lbs

NOTES
The oven will beep during the DEFROST cycle. At this
time, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange
the food. Remove any portions that have thawed.
Return frozen portions to the oven and touch
resume the defrost cycle.
Operating Tips
• For best results, remove fish, shell fish, 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.

AUTO DEFROST

• 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.

Weight 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.
Equivalent Weight
OUNCES DECIMAL WEIGHT
1.6 .10
3.2 .20
4.0 .25 One-Quarter Pound
4.8 .30
6.4 .40

9.6 .60
11.2 .70
12.0 .75 Three-Quarters Pound
12.8 .80
