USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN AUTO DEFROST Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven. The defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods. The auto defrost guide 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 the best defrost results. Three different defrosting levels are provided. dEF1 Ground Meat dEF2 Poultry dEF3 Steaks/Chops Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs. of ground beef. Touch: Display Shows: 1. 1 2. and 1.2 3.

At this time, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food. Remove any portions that have thawed. Return frozen portions to the oven and touch START to resume the defrost cycle. The oven will not stop during the BEEP unless the door is opened. 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. • Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.
