OPERATION AUTO DEFROST Five defrost sequences are preset in the oven. The auto defrost feature provides the best defrosting method for frozen foods. The Auto Defrost Table shows which defrost sequence is recommended. For added convenience, Auto Defrost includes a builtin beep mechanism as a reminder to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange food to get the best defrost results. Five different defrost settings are provided. 1 MEAT 2 POULTRY 3 FISH 4 BREAD 5 QUICK DEFROST Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs. of meat. 1. Touch AUTO DEFROST. WEIGHT CONVERSION TABLE Most food weights are given in pounds and ounces. If using pounds, food weights must be entered into Auto Defrost in pounds and tenths of pounds (decimals). Use the following table if necessary to convert food weights to decimals.

Note: When you touch the START or press the dial, the display changes to the defrost time count down. When the oven beeps during the DEFROST cycle, 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. 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 the 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. • For more defrost help, read Defrosting Tips following the Auto Defrost Table. For best results, loosen or remove coverings on food.
