SPECIAL FEATURES EXPRESS DEFROST Express Defrost automatically defrosts ground meat, steaks, chops and chicken pieces. Round the weight to the nearest half pound. (Ex. if the steak's actual weight is 2.2 lbs round to 2.0 lbs. If the steak's weight is 2.4 lbs round to 2.5 lbs.) • Suppose you want to defrost a 2.0 lbs steak. PROCEDURE 1 You do not need to select food. To enter weight, touch the EX- PRESS DEFROST pad for a .5 lb increase per touch. Quickly touch EXPRESS DEFROST pad 4 times for 2.0 lbs because the oven starts automatically. EXPRESS DEFROST x 4 The oven will stop so that the food can be checked. 2 After the 1st stage, open the door. Turn steak over and shield any warm por- tions. Close the door. Touch START pad. 3 After the 2nd stage, open the door. Shield any warm portions. Close the door. Touch START pad. NOTE: 1. Express Defrost can only be entered within 3 minutes after cooking, opening and closing the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad. 2. Express Defrost can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 13. 3. You may choose to enter the weight in tenths of pounds. This procedure may be easier with larger weights such as 3.0 lbs because it requires fewer touches. To program, touch EXPRESS DEFROST and enter weight by touching the number pads. Example: touch EXPRESS DEFROST then 3 and 0 for a weight of four pounds. If you attempt to enter more or less than the allowed amount (0.5-3.0 lbs), EE will appear in the display. 4. To defrost other foods or foods above or below the weights allowed on EXPRESS DEFROST CHART below, use time and 30% power. See Manual Defrost on page 11. 4 After defrost cycle ends, cover and let stand as indicated in chart below. EXPRESS DEFROST CHART FOOD AMOUNT PROCEDURE Ground meat .5-3.0 lbs Remove any thawed pieces after each stage. Let stand, covered, 5 to 10 minutes. Steaks/chops .5-3.0 lbs After each stage of defrost cycle, rearrange and if there are warm or thawed portions, shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any meat or fish that is nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered, 10 to 20 minutes. Chicken pieces .5-3.0 lbs After each stage of defrost cycle, if there are warm or thawed portions, rearrange or remove. Let stand, covered, 10 to 20 minutes. NOTE: Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals are thawed. Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food. 10
