USING AUTO DEFROST

You can defrost food by choosing a category and set- ting a weight. AUTO DEFROST has preset times and cook powers for 3 categories: Meat, Poultry, and Fish.

1.Put the food in the oven and close the door.

2.Touch AUTO DEFROST.

Select menu 1-3. (See the following chart or cooking guide behind door.)

3.Touch Number pad to choose the type of food.

4.Touch Number pad(s) to enter the weight.

5.Touch START/ENTER.

6.At the end of the defrosting time:

Display will show “END” and 4 tones will sound.

NOTES:

•To defrost items not listed in the “Auto defrost chart,” use 30% cook power. Refer to a reliable cookbook for defrosting information.

•During defrosting, 5 tones sound and the display will ask you to turn food over. After you do so, close the door and touch START/ENTER to continue defrosting. See the “Auto defrost chart” later in this section for instructions on what to do when you see this message.

•The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.

•As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces. Separated pieces defrost more evenly.

•Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven.

Weight conversion chart

You are probably used to food weights as being in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4 ounces equals 1⁄4 pound [113.4 g]).

If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following chart to convert the weight to decimals.

DEFROSTING TIPS

•Before starting, make sure you have removed any of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.

•Open containers such as cartons before they are placed in the oven.

•Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.

•If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a suitable container.

•Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage.

•Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.

•Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting.

•The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen.

•The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.

•As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces. Separated pieces defrost more evenly.
