DEFROST

Defrost automatically defrosts all the foods shown in the DEFROST CHART below.

Round the weight to the nearest half pound. (Ex: if the steak’s actual weight is 2.2 lb round to 2.0 lb. If the steak’s weight is 2.4 lb round to 2.5 lb.)

To enter weight, touch the desired DEFROST pad for a 0.5 lb increase per touch. (Ex: touch four times for 2.0 lb.)

• Suppose you want to defrost a 2.0 pound steak.

NOTE: Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals are thawed.
