AUTO DEFROST
Three defrost choices are preset in the oven. The
defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting
method for frozen foods , becaus e the oven
automatically sets the defrosting times for each food
item according to the weight you enter. For added
convenience, the AUTO DEFROST includes a built-in
tone mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over,
separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost
cycle. Three different defrosting options are provided.
1. MEAT
2. POULTRY
3. FISH
After touching AUTO DEFROST once, select the food
category. Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry
and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.
Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat.

NOTE:
• After you touch START/ENTER, the display counts
down the defrost time. The oven will beep once
during the defrost cycle. At this time, open the door
and turn, separate, or rearrange the food as needed.

frozen portions to the oven and touch START/ENTER
to resume the defrost cycle.
• The oven will not stop during the beep unless
the door is opened.

DEFROSTING TIPS
When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be
•
entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of
pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).
Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO
•
DEFROST gives best results when food to be
thawed is a minimum of 0 F (taken directly from a
true freezer). If 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 (for a shorter defrosting time)
to prevent cooking the food.
If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to
•
20 minutes , enter a lower food weight.
The shape of the package alters the defrosting
•
time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more
quickly than a deep block.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
•
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield
•
shieldfoods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish
tailsbut the foil must not touch the side of the
oven.Foil causes arcing, which can damage the
oven lining.
Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if
•
they start to become warm.
For even, complete defrosting, use the defrosting
•
rack.
For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on
•
a microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents
the possibility of warm meat juices cooking food
during defrost.
