NOTE:
When you touch the START pad, the display changes to defrost time count down. The oven will beep during the DEFROST cycle. At this time, 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.
OPERATING TIPS
•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.
•For best results, shape your ground meat into the form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
•Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
•For more defrost help, please read “Defrosting Tips” following the Auto Defrost Table.
This table shows you food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.

WEIGHT CONVERSION TABLE
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). However, in order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound. If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following table to convert the weight to decimals.
