Note: • Maximum weight for defrosting is 5.9 lbs. If weight is entered at more than 5.9 lbs, a beep sounds to alert you to enter correct weight.

If START is pressed without entering a weight, the control will default to 1.0 lb.

Beep tone sounds 5 times during the defrosting cycle to signal that food should be rearranged to improve defrosting performance. After turning or rearranging, close door and press START. The oven continues the defrosting cycle to the end if you do not open the door.

Food should be removed from styrofoam packages before defrosting.
