AUTO DEFROST
AUTO DEFROST thaws frozen food without entering
a cook time or cook power. Three defrost categories
are preset in your oven: Meat, Poultry, and Fish. See
the "Auto Defrost Chart" below.
NOTES:
• For added convenience, AUTO DEFROST has a
built-in reminder tone to tell you when to check, turn
over, separate, or rearrange food. The oven will sound a
tone twice during the defrost cycle. At each tone, open
the door and turn, separate, or rearrange food. Remove
any portions that have thawed. Return frozen portion to
the oven and touch START to resume the defrost cycle.
• You can defrost foods that weigh 0.1 to 6.0 Ibs.
For best results:
- Removefish, shellfish,meat, and poultry from its
originalclosed paper or plasticpackage (wrapper).
Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close
to the foods, whichcan cause the outersurface of
the foods to cook.
• Shape groundmeat intothe form of a doughnut before
freezing. When defrosting,remove thawed meat when
the remindertone sounds and continuedefrosting°
• Place foodsin a shallowcontaineror on a microwave
roastingrack to catch drippings.
• Food shouldstill be somewhaticy in the centerwhen
removedfrom the oven.
Example: To defrost 1.2 Ibs. of ground beef.
