USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

AUTO DEFROST

Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost sequences. Using auto defrost is the best way to defrost frozen foods. The auto defrost chart on pages 19 - 20 provides some basic guidelines for using the three defrost sequences.

NOTE:

When you touch the start pad, the display changes to defrost time count down. The oven will beep during the defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food.

Remove any portions that have thawed.

Return frozen portions to the oven and touch start to resume the defrost cycle.

WEIGHT CONVERSION CHART

To enter food weight in auto defrost, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound. If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following chart to convert the weight to decimals.

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 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 foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining. See page 6.

•Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to cook too fast.

•For better results, a preset standing time is included in the defrosting time.

•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.
