AUTO DEFROST
Three 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 for each food
item according to the weight you enter. For added
convenience, the AUTO DEFROST includes a built-in
tone mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over,
separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost
cycle. Three different defrosting options are provided.
1. MEAT
2. POULTRY
3. FISH
After touching AUTO DEFROST once, select the food
category. Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry
and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.
NOTE:
After you touch START, the display counts down
the defrost time. The oven will beep once during the
defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn,
separate, or rearrange the food as needed. Remove
any portions that have thawed then return frozen
portions to the oven and touch START to resume
the defrost cycle.
The oven will not stop during the beep unless
the door is opened.
DEFROSTING 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 0 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.
You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield
shield
foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish
tailsbut
the foil must not touch the side of the
oven.Foil
causes arcing, which can damage the
Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if
they
start to become warm.
For even, complete defrosting, use the defrosting
rack.
For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on
a
microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents
the
possibility of warm meat juices cooking food
during
defrost.
