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 includes beeps to

remind you to check or turn over the

food during the defrost cycle.

After touching the AUTO DEFROST

pad once, select the food weight.

Available weight ranges are 0.1 to 6.0

lbs.

Example : To defrost 1.2 lbs of

meat.

1. Touch AUTO

DEFROST pad.

2. Enter the weight.

3. Touch ENTER/

START pad.

NOTES:

●

After you touch ENTER/ START

pad, the display counts down the

defrost time. The oven will beep

twice during the Defrost cycle. At

this time, open the door and turn

the food as needed. Remove any

portions that have thawed then

return frozen portions to the oven

and touch ENTER/START pad to

resume the defrost cycle.

●

The oven will beep to signal you

to check or turn over the food.

Operating Instructions

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 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.

●

Shield areas of food with small

pieces of foil if they start to become

warm.

●

You can use small pieces of alu-

minum 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 food stand covered for 15 to 30

minutes.

●

Let Roasts or Whole poultry stand

for 30 to 60 minutes.
