USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

DEFROST

Four 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 DEFROST includes a built-in tone mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost cycle. Four different defrosting options are provided.

1.MEAT

2.POULTRY

3.FISH

4.BREAD

After touching DEFROST once, select the food category. Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry, and Fish are

0.1to 6.0 lbs. The available weight range for Bread is 0.1 to 1.0 lb.

Example : To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat.

1. Touch DEFROST.

2. Choose food category.

3. Enter the weight.

4. Touch START/ENTER.

NOTE: After you touch START/ENTER, the display counts down the defrost time. The oven will beep once during the Defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food as needed. Remove any portions that have thawed, then return frozen portions to the oven and touch START/ENTER to resume the defrost cycle. The oven will not stop during the BEEP unless the door is opened.

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.

•Form the meat into the shape of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.

•Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or a on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
