MICROWAVE OVEN USE

USING AUTO DEFROST

You can defrost food by choosing a category and setting a weight. AUTO DEFROST has preset times and cook powers for 3 categories: Meat, Poultry, and Fish.

1. Touch AUTO DEFROST.

Once for Meat (DEF 1 will display), twice for Poultry (DEF 2 will display), three times for Fish (DEF 3 will display).

2.Touch number pads for desired weight (from .1 to 6.0 lbs [45 g to 2.7 kg]).

3.Touch START.

4.During defrosting, 5 tones will sound. These tones tell you when to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food. To start the oven again, touch

START.

5.At the end of the defrosting time:

Display will show “END” and 3 tones will sound.

NOTES:

If you enter a weight higher than the highest weight allowed for your food setting, one long tone will sound and “Err” will appear on the display when you touch START/ENTER.

If you touch the AUTO DEFROST pad 4 times, the display returns to the Meat setting.

See the “Auto defrost chart” later in this section for defrosting directions for each food.

To defrost items not listed in the “Auto defrost chart,” use 30% cook power. Refer to a reliable cookbook for defrosting information.

Twice during defrosting, 5 tones will sound. These tones tell you when to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food. See the “Auto defrost chart” later in this section for instructions on what to do when the tones sound. To start the oven again, touch START/ENTER.

Weight conversion chart

You are probably used to food weights as being in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4 ounces equals 14 pound [113.4 g]).

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.
