AUTOMATIC
DEFROST
BY WEIGHT
The best defrosting
time and power levels are automatically
determined
depending
on
the food weight you enter. The feature
provides
two options:
FINE DEFROST:
Use for thorough
defrosting
of frozen foods,
when it is important to
have the center section
defrosted
as well as the outside.
Examples
for recommended
use
are: whole chicken,
roasts
and steak.
QUICK
DEFROST:
Use to assist separation
of frozen pieces of chicken
or fish that need
preparation
prior to cooking.
Also, this defrost
option
is excellent
for thawing
items such
as frozen
ground
meat for use in spaghetti
sauce or for taco meat.

Defrosting
Techniques:
•
Remove food from wrapper to prevent holding steam and juice and place in a
microwave-safe
baking dish or a roasting rack to catch drippings.
•
Cover thin parts with aluminum
foil to prevent
overdefrosting.
•
Because
some foods will still be icy in the center,
it is necessary
to have a standing
time after defrosting
the food in the oven. Food should
be taken out of the oven to
complete
defrosting.
A longer standing
time might be required
for denser
foods such
as roasts.
Note:
•
Weight can be entered
up to 5.9 Ibs. If weight is entered
more than 5.9 Ibs and
press START,
a beep sounds
to alert you to enter correct
weight.
•
The oven selects
lib if a weight
is not entered.
•
Beep tone sounds
5 seconds
during
the defrosting
cycle to signal that
food should
be rearranged
to improve
defrosting
performance.Open
the
door and rearrange
the food. The oven continues the defrosting cycle to the
end if you do not open the door.
•
Food can be defrosted
in a styrofoam
package.
