Operating Instructions
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, select the
food weight. Available weight ranges are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.
Example: To defrost 1.8 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 not stop during the BEEP unless the
door is opened.

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 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.
Procedure
After each stage, rearrange
the food. If there are any
warm or thawed portions of
food, shield them with narrow
flat pieces of aluminum foil.
Remove any pieces of food
that are nearly defrosted.
Let stand, covered, for 5-10
minutes.
Arrange rolls in a circle
horizontally on paper towels
in the middle of turntable.
Turn over after half of the
defrosting time.
After each stage, remove any
pieces of food that are nearly
defrosted. Let stand, coverd
with foil for 5-10 minutes.
