AUTO
DEFROST
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 according to the weight you enter.
For added convenience, the AUTO DEFROST beeps
to remind you to check or turn over the food during the
defrost cycle.
After touching the AUTO DEFROST pad once, enter the
food weight. Available weight ranges are 0.1 to 6.0 Ibs.
Example :To defrost 1.2 Ibs of meat.

DEFROST
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 O°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.
• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to
become warm.
,,You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield foods
like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must
not touch the side of the oven. Foil causes arcing, which
can damage the oven lining.
• Let foods stand, covered, for 15 to 30 minutes.
Let roasts and whole poultry stand 30 to 60 minutes.
