The auto defrost feature provides the best defrosting
method for frozen foods. The Auto Defrost
Table shows which defrost sequence is recommended.
For added convenience, Auto Defrost includes a built-
in beep mechanism as a reminder to check, turn over,
separate, or rearrange food to get the best defrost
results. Five different defrost settings are provided.

OPERATING TIPS

• 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.
• For best results, shape the ground meat into the
form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,
scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and
continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave
roasting rack to catch drippings.
• For more defrost help, read Defrosting Tips following
the Auto Defrost Table.
For best results, loosen or remove coverings on food.
