3.3.16 Special notes for defrosting by
time
• After pressing START/+30sec. key, the display
will count down remaining defrost time. The
oven will beep twice during the defrost cycle.
At this time open the door and turn the food if
needed and remove any portions that have al-
ready thawed. Touch the START/+30sec. key
to resume the defrost cycle.
• When heating has finished you will hear beeps.
3.3.17 Defrosting tips
• When using the defrost weight feature, the
weight entered should always be pounds (valid
entries are from 0.1 to 6.0 pounds).
• Use both defrost weight and defrost time fea-
tures for raw food items only. Defrosting gives
best results when food to be thawed is a mini-
mum of 0°F (taken directly from a true freezer). If
the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer
that does not maintain a temperature of 5° F
or below, always program a lower food weight
or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.
• If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer
for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time
or weight.
• The shape of the package will alter the defrost-
ing time. Shallow rectangular food packets de-
frost more quickly than a deep frozen block of
food.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Sepa-
rated frozen pieces of food defrost better.
• Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of
foil if they start to become warm.
• You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to
shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and
fish tails, but do not allow the foil to touch the
oven cavity walls when defrosting.
