OPERATION

AUTO DEFROST

Three defrost choices are preset in the oven. The defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods, because the oven automatically sets the defrosting times for each food item according to the weight you enter. For added convenience, the AUTO DEFROST includes a built-in tone mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost cycle. Three different defrosting options are provided.

1.MEAT

2.POULTRY

3.FISH

After touching AUTO DEFROST once, select the food category. Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.

WEIGHT CONVERSION CHART

DEFROSTING TIPS

When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO DEFROST gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0 F (taken directly from a true freezer). If food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5 F or below, always program a lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.

If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to

20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.

The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.

Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated pieces defrost more easily.

You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield shieldfoods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tailsbut the foil must not touch the side of the oven.Foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.

Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.

For even, complete defrosting, use the defrosting rack.

For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on a microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents the possibility of warm meat juices cooking food during defrost.
