Operating Instructions

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.

With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven automatically sets the defrosting time and power levels for you.

The oven automatically determines required defrosting times for each food item according to the weight you enter.

For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you check, turn over, separate, or rearrange.

Three different defrosting levels are provided.

1MEAT (dEF1 )

2POULTRY (dEF2)

3FISH (dEF3)

*You can select the category by touching the key once (MEAT), twice (POULTRY), or three times (FISH).

*Available weight is 0.1~6.0 lbs (0.045~2.72 kg).

Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs of ground beef.

➠

2. Enter the weight by touching [1] and [2].

1.2 appears in the display. ➠

3. Touch START. Defrosting starts.

NOTE:

When you touch the START pad, the display changes to defrost time count down. The oven will beep during the DEFROST cycle. At each beep, 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 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 wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.

*Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

*Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.
