04 OPERATING THE OVEN

Defrost

This function lets you defrost items in the oven much more quickly than at room temperature. The
convection fan operates during defrosting.

How to set the Defrost function.

1. Press the DEFROST pad.
The Defrost feature automatically provides the optimum
temperature for the defrost process, and therefore does not have
a temperature adjustment.
2. Press the SET/START pad.
3. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad at any time to turn off the defrost
feature.
If you press the • DEFROST pad when the oven temperature is above 100˚F, Hot will
appear in the display. Because these functions produce the best results when started
while the oven is cool, we recommend that you wait until the oven has cooled down and
Hot disappears from the display.
Remove all packaging from the frozen food before defrosting for the best results.•
Use the broil pan and insert when defrosting food which can drip, such as poultry. This keeps •
defrosing food from lying in defrosted liquid and keeps the oven cleaner.
When defrosting food which has frozen together, e.g. berries, chops, fish fillets etc. separate it •
about half-way through the defrosting time.
