How to Set the Oven for Defrost
Place food in oven.
Select FEATURE from main menu.
Select DEFROST.
Enter the defrost time in hours
and/or minutes. Reference the
chart on the next page.
Select START.
NOTE: Food may be checked at any time
by opening the door. The microwave and
convection fan will turn off and the defrost
time countdown will stop while the door
is open. They will resume when the door
is closed.
Check food and turn over when
prompted. Add more time if
desired.
After the defrost time has ended, the oven
will prompt the user to add “MORE
TIME.” Add additional time by selecting
MORE TIME. Enter time in minutes.
Press CLEAR/OFF pad if food has finished
defrosting.
The defrost feature allows you to thaw food for a set amount of time.
Cookware/Tips for Defrosting
For best results, remove food from
packaging and place on broil pan and grid.
If food is left in packaging, slit, pierce or
vent to prevent heat buildup.
Place food in the oven according to the
Defrosting Guide.
You can use all cookware/containers that
are oven safe or microwave-safe. Arcing is
the microwave term for sparks in the
oven. Be sure there is at least 1 inch of
space between metal surfaces—pans, wall
of cavity, aluminum foil—to prevent
arcing. Dishes with metallic trim should not
be used as arcing may occur. Remove metal
twist ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing them in the oven.
Do not completely surround food with
metal and/or foil.
Plastic storage containers should be
uncovered before defrosting.
Foods that spoil easily should not be
allowed to sit out for more than one hour
after defrosting. Room temperature
promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
Use caution when removing metal pans
and stoneware after defrosting. They may
become very warm, and you may need to
use a potholder.
For more even defrosting, turn food
over, separate and rearrange when
prompted. Be sure large meats are
completely defrosted before cooking.
See the Defrosting Guide for additional
comments.
When defrosted, food should be cool but
softened in all areas. If still slightly icy,
return to the oven very briefly, or let it
stand a few minutes.
