AutoDefrost

The Auto Defrost can be used or the microwave oven can be manually set to defrost.

Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.

Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the end of the cycle for more even defrosting.

Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first.

The Auto Defrost feature uses weight input. It should not be used for food that has been left outside the freezer for more than

4.Touch START.

The display will count down the defrost time.

During defrosting, 5 tones will sound. These tones indicate it is time to check, turn, rearrange, or separate food. Open door, turn food if necessary, close door, and touch START to resume defrosting.

When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder tones.

5.Touch OFF or open the door to clear the display.
