NOTES:

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.

Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.

If you attempt to enter more or less that the allowed amount as indicated in the chart, an error message will appear in the display.

DEFROST can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment.

To defrost other foods or foods above the weights allowed on the Defrost Guide, see Manual Defrost.
