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.
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.
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.
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.
