Defrost

The automatic Defrost feature can be used or the microwave oven can be manually set to defrost.

■Unwrap foods and remove lids (for example, from fruit juice containers) before defrosting.

■Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.

■Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the end of the cycle for more even defrosting.

■Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first.

The Defrost feature uses weight input. It should not be used for food that has been left outside the freezer for more than

20 minutes, or for frozen ready-made food.

To Use Defrost:

1.Place food, uncovered, on the turntable and close the door.

2.Touch DEFROST. The default weight of 1.5 lbs will show in the display.

Weight can be set from 0.2 lb to 3.3 lbs (90 g to 1.5 kg).

4.Touch START.

The display will count down the defrost time.

During defrosting, 3 tones will sound, and the display will show the “turn Food” prompt. Open door, turn food if necessary, close door, and touch START to resume defrosting. If no action is taken, the Defrost cycle will automatically resume in 2 minutes. Touching START during the 2 minute pause will also resume the cycle, without having to open the door.

When the cycle ends, “End” will appear in the display, and the end-of-cycle tones will sound.
