Operating Instructions

AUTO DEFROST

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 according to the weight you enter. For added convenience, the AUTO DEFROST beeps to remind you to check or turn over the food during the defrost cycle.

After touching the AUTO DEFROST pad once, enter the food weight. Available weight ranges are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.

Example : To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat.

1. Touch AUTO DEFROST pad.

2. Enter the weight.

3. Touch ENTER/START pad.

4.The oven calculates the defrosting time and starts automatically. Twice during defrosting, the oven will beep and the display will scroll TURN THE FOOD OVER.

5.Open the oven door, and turn the food over.

6. After closing the door, touch the

ENTER/START pad to resume

defrosting.

NOTE:

●After you touch ENTER/ START pad, the display counts down the defrost time. The oven will beep twice during the Defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn the food or separate pieces as needed. Remove any portions that have thawed then return frozen portions to the oven and touch ENTER/START pad to resume the defrost cycle.

DEFROST TIPS

●When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

●Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO DEFROST gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a true freezer). If 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 (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.

●If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.

●The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.

●Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated pieces defrost more easily.

●Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.

●You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.

●Let foods stand, covered, for 15 to 30 minutes.

Let roasts and whole poultry stand 30 to 60 minutes.
