Auto Defrost - Amana F1320E Owner's Manual & Cooking Manual

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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 includes a
built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check,
turn over, separate, or rearrange.
Three different defrosting levels are provided.
1 MEAT
2 POULTRY
3 FISH
*You can select the category by touching the numeric
key 1 (MEAT), numeric key 2 (POULTRY), and
numeric key 3 (FISH) after touching the AUTO
DEFROST pad.
*Available weight is 0.1~6.0 lbs(0.1~4.0 kgs).

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.
