Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support GEAppliances.com Auto Defrost Four 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 for each food item according to the weight you enter. For added convenience, Auto Defrost includes a built-in tone mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate or rearrange the food during the defrost cycle. Four different defrosting options are provided: 1. Meat 2. Poultry 3. Fish 4. Bread After touching Auto Defrost once, select the food category. Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs. The available weight range for Bread is 0.1 to 1.0 lb. 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. Form the meat into the shape of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting. Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or a on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings. Foods should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.
