Auto Weight Defrost

To help you become thoroughly familiar with the convenient Auto Weight Defrost method and its use, we have provided step-by-step instructions for you. You will soon see how microwave defrosting can transform defrosting from a time consuming nuisance to a simple preparation step. Let’s begin by defrosting 1 pound 8 ounces of ground beef.

1.Unwrap beef and place in a microware-safe dish or tray (to catch drippings). Set dish in the oven on the glass tray.

2.Touch CLEAR.

3.Ground beef defrosts on Auto Weight Defrost. Touch MEAT. The “DEF” and “DEF 1” will shown, and the “Ibs” will flash.

4.Enter the weight of your food in decimal increments from 0.1 pound to 5.9 pounds. Remember to convert ounces to tenths of a pound. To defrost 1 pound 8 ounces of ground beef, touch number pads “1” and “5” for 1.5 pounds. The display window will show “1.5”.

5.Touch START. The oven will begin the defrosting sequence, and the display win- dow will show the total time as it “counts down”. The oven will sound the beep at the end of 70% power.

6.At the beep, follow the guide instructions: Remove thawed portions with fork, turning beef over and also removing thawed portion from bottom. Return remainder to oven.

NOTE: If the oven door is not opened during the beep, the oven will continue defrosting. Because turning, rotating, and separating are usually necessary for proper defrosting, follow steps 1 through 7 for best results.

7.After performing guide instructions, touch START. The oven resumes defrosting and the display window shows the time remain- ing. At the end of the required time, a beep will sound and “End” will appear in the dis- play and remain until the door is opened or CLEAR is pressed. The oven shuts off auto- matically.
