- If you do not enter a weight within 2 seconds,
AUTO DEFROST will prompt you to enter a
weight. You then have 1 minute to enter a weight
and to touch START/ENTER. If you do not do so,
AUTO DEFROST will be canceled.

weight allowed for your food setting, 3 tones will
sound and "RETRY" will appear on the display
when you touch START/ENTER.

returns to the Meats setting.
• If you need more or less defrosting time, do not
touch AUTO DEFROST again. Touch POWER
before you touch START/ENTER. (See "Changing
preset cooking times" in the "Getting to Know"

For even, complete defrosting
• The shape of the package affects how quickly
food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost
more quickly than a deep block.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
Separated pieces defrost more evenly.
• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts
of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails,
or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the
foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of
the oven.
This chart shows you how to choose a type of food and the weights you can set for each type.
