NOTE The weight amount must be a valid entry for this feature to start. A valid weight entry is 0.1 to 6.0 pounds. SETTING DEFROST (BY TIME) Example: to defrost food with the default 30% power level for 5 minutes: 1. Press Defrost pad twice. 0.00 will appear in the display. 2.Use the number pads to enter desired defrost time (defrost time may be set up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds). 3.Press START pad. When heating has finished you will hear beeps and "End" will display. NOTE Power levels cannot be changed for both defrost (by weight) or defrost (by time) because the defrost performance will be adversely affected. SPECIAL NOTES FOR DEFROSTING BY TIME • After pressing START key, the display will count down remaining defrost time. The oven will beep during the defrost cycle. At this time open the door and turn the food if needed and remove any portions that have already thawed. Press the START key to resume the defrost cycle. • When heating has finished you will hear beeps. DEFROSTING TIPS • When using the defrost weight feature, the weight entered should always be pounds (valid entries are from 0.1 to 6.0 pounds). • Use both defrost weight and defrost time features for raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a true freezer). If the 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 or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food. • If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight. • The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food. • Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated frozen pieces of food defrost better. • Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm. • You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails, but do not allow the foil to touch the oven cavity walls when defrosting. DEFROSTING SUGGESTIONS FOR MEATS For best results, please read these suggestions when defrosting meats. Meat Normal amount Suggestions Roast beef or pork 2.5 to 6 lbs. (40 to 96 oz.) Start with the food placed fat side down. After each stage, turn the food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered for 15-30 minutes.
