Defrost

The automatic Defrost feature can be used or the microwave
oven can be manually set to defrost.
Unwrap foods and remove lids (for example, from fruit juice
containers) before defrosting.
Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the
end of the cycle for more even defrosting.
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such
as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See "Aluminum Foil
and Metal" first.
The Defrost feature uses weight input. It should not be used for
food that has been left outside the freezer for more than
20 minutes, or for frozen ready-made food.
To Use Defrost:
1. Place food, uncovered, on the turntable and close the door.
2. Touch DEFROST.

must be used. (For example, enter "05" for 0.5 lb, or "43" for
4.3 lbs.)
Weight can be set from 0.1 lb to 6.5 lbs (45 g to 2.9 kg).
4. Touch START.
The display will count down the defrost time.
During defrosting, 5 tones will sound. These tones indicate it
is time to check, turn, rearrange, or separate food. Open
door, turn food if necessary, close door, and touch START to
resume defrosting.
When the cycle ends, "END" will appear in the display, and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound.
