USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN AUTO DEFROST Four defrost sequences are preset in the oven. The defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking guide will show you which defrost sequence is recommended for the food you are defrosting. With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven automatically sets the defrosting time and power levels for you. The oven automatically determines required defrosting times for each food item according to the weight you enter. For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange. 1 MEAT 2 POULTRY 3 FISH * Available weight is 0.1~6.0 lbs. (Bread weight is 0.1~1.0 lbs.) Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat 1. Touch STOP/CLEAR. 2. Touch AUTO DEFROST. meat touch 1 poultry touch 2 fish touch 3 shows in the display. 3.

Defrosting starts. *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.
