Auto Defrost

With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven automatically sets the defrosting time and Power Levels for you. You enter the food weight in pounds and tenths of a pound (See Conversion Chart below) and touch Start Pad. The oven calculates the defrosting time and changes power levels during defrosting to give even defrosting results.

Twice during defrosting, the oven beeps 4 times and the readout flashes "TURN", telling you to turn food over and will not continue defrosting until door is opened and Start Pad is touched again.

When using the Auto Defrost feature, it is necessary to allow the food to

stand. This standing period is necessary to finish the defrosting of the interior of the food.
