DEFROST

Four defrost choices are preset in the oven. The Defrost
feature provides you with the best defrosting method
for frozen foods, because the oven automatically sets
the defrosting times for each food item according to
the weight you enter. For added convenience, the
Defrost feature includes a built-in tone mechanism that
reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange
the food during the defrost cycle. Four different
defrosting presets are provided.
1. Meat
2. Poultry
3. Fish
4. Bread
Touch Defrost and choose from the menu. Then enter
weight. Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry, and
Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs. The available weight range for
Bread is 0.1 to 1.0 lb.
Example : To defrost 1.2 lbs. of meat.
1. Touch Defrost once.

3. Enter the weight.
4. Touch START.
NOTE: After you touch START, the display
counts down the defrost time. The oven beeps once
during the defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and
turn, separate, or rearrange the food as needed.
Remove any portions that have thawed, then return the
frozen portions to the oven and touch START to
resume the defrost cycle.
For best results:
Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original
closed paper or plastic package. Otherwise, the wrapper
will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can
cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
Form ground meats into the shape of a doughnut before
freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when
the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or a on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
Foods should still be somewhat icy in the center when
removed from the oven.
