2.AUTO Defrost can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 20.

3.To defrost other foods or foods above or below the weights allowed on AUTO Defrost Chart use time and 30% power. See Manual Defrost on page 11.

4.You may choose to enter the weight in tenths of pounds. This procedure may be easier with larger weights, such as 3 pounds, because it requires fewer touches. To program, press desired food number and enter weight. Ex: press Steaks/ Chops/Fish then 3 and 0 for a weight of three pounds or press Steaks/Chops/Fish then 2 and 2 for a weight of 2.2 lb.

6.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 thawed.
