AUTO DEFROST Three 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. For added convenience, the AUTO DEFROST includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost cycle. Three different defrosting options are provided. 1. MEAT 2. POULTRY 3. FiSH * Available weight is 0.1-6.0 Ibs. (.05to 2.7kg). Example: To defrost 1.2 Ibs. of ground beef. Touch: 1.

The oven will beep during the DEFROST cycle. 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/ADD 30 to resume the defrost cycle. The oven will not stop during the BEEP unless the door is opened. For best results: • Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrapper 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 on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings. • Foods should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.
