AUTO DEFROST
Three defrost sequences
are preset
in the oven. The
defrost
feature
provides you with the best defrosting
method for frozen foods. The AUTO
DEFROST guide will show you which
defrost
sequence
is recommended
for the food you are defrosting.
With the Auto Defrost feature, the
oven automatically
sets the defrost-
ing time and power levels for you.
The oven automatically
determines
required
defrosting
times
for each
food item according to the weight you
enter.
For added
convenience,
the Auto
Defrost
includes
a
built-in
beep
mechanism
that
reminds
you
to
check,
turn
over,
separate,
or
rearrange. Three different defrosting
levels are provided.
1 MEAT
2 POULTRY
3 FISH
• You can select the category

after touching the AUTO DEFROST
pad.

NOTE:
When you touch the START pad, the
display changes to defrost time count
down. The oven will beep during the
DEFROST cycle. At beep, open the
door and turn, separate, or rearrange
the food. Remove any portions that
have thawed. Return frozen portions
to the oven and touch START to
resume the defrost cycle.
• For best results, remove fish, shell-
fish, meat, and poultry from its orig-
inal closed paper or plastic package
(wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will
hold steam and juice close to the
foods, which can cause the outer
surface of the foods to cook.
• For best results, shape your ground
meat into the form of a doughnut
before freezing. When defrosting,
scrape off thawed meat when the
beep sounds and continue defrost-
ing.
• Place foods in a shallow container
or on a microwave roasting rack to
catch drippings.
• Food should still be somewhat icy
in the center when removed from
the oven.
