Operating Instructions

AUTO DEFROST

Four defrost choices are preset in the oven. The defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods, because the oven automatically sets the defrosting times for each food item according to the weight you enter. For added convenience, the AUTO DEFROST includes a built-in tone mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost cycle. Four different defrosting options are provided.

1.MEAT

2.POULTRY

3.FISH

4.BREAD

After touching AUTO DEFROST once, select the food category. Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs. The available weight range for Bread is 0.1 to 1.0 lb.

Example : To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat.

1. Touch AUTO

DEFROST pad.

2. Choose food category.

3. Enter the weight.

4. Touch ENTER/

START pad.

NOTE: After you touch ENTER/START, the display counts down the defrost time. The oven will beep once during the Defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food as needed. Remove any portions that have thawed then return frozen portions to the oven and touch ENTER/START to resume the defrost cycle. The oven will not stop during the BEEP unless the door is opened.

For best results:

Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.

Form the meat into the shape of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.

Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or a on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

Foods should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.

DEFROST 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 true 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 alu- minum 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.

Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.

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.

A DEFROST PLATE is provided for complete defrosting of larger food items. Place the defrost plate on the glass tray plastic side down. Place the item to be defrosted directly on the defrost plate.
