AUTOMATIC DEFROST BY WEIGHT
The best defrosting time and power levels are automatically determined depending on

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.
Example: To thoroughly defrost 2.5 Ib of whole chicken:

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, short 3 beeps sounds to alert you to enter correct weight.
• The oven selects lib if a weight is not entered.
• Deep 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.
