Operating Instructions
AUTO DEFROST
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 according to the weight you
enter. For added convenience, the
AUTO DEFROST beeps to remind
you to check or turn over the food
during the defrost cycle.
After touching the Auto Defrost pad
once, select the food weight. Available
weight ranges are 0.1 to 6.0 Ibs.
Example :To defrost 1.2 Ibs of
meat.

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