AUTO DEFROST

Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.
The auto defrost feature provides you with the best
defrosting method for frozen foods. The Auto Defrost
Table will show you which defrost sequence is
recommended for the food you are defrosting.
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost
includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds
you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange to get
best defrost results. Three different defrost settings are
provided.
1 MEAT
2 POULTRY
3 FISH
*You can set Auto Defrost from 0.1 to 6.0 pounds in
each setting.

USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

OPERATING TIPS

• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and
poultry from its original 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 defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow container or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
This table shows you food type selections and the
weights you can set for each type. For best
results, loosen or remove covering on food.

Weight conversion table

You are probably used to food weights as being in
pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for
example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in
order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you must
specify pounds and tenths of a pound.
If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a
pound, you can use the following table to convert the
weight to decimals.
