USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

AUTO DEFROST
Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.
The defrost feature provides you with the best
defrosting method for frozen foods. The auto
defrost guide will show you which defrost
sequence is recommended for the food you are
defrosting.
The oven automatically determines required
defrosting times for each food item according to
the weight you enter.
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost
Feature contains a built-in beep mechanism that
lets you check, turn over, separate or rearrange
as recommended in the AUTO DEFROST
GUIDE.
Three different defrosting levels are provided.
1. Touch STOP/CLEAR.
2. Touch AUTO DEFROST once.
3. Enter the weight by touching [1] and [2].
1.2 appears in the display.
4. Touch START.

3. Enter the weight by
touching [1] and [2].
1.2 shows in the display.
4. Touch START pad.
Defrosting starts.
The display changes to defrost time count
down. The oven will beep during the DEFROST
cycle. At this time, open the door and turn,
separate or rearrange the food.
Remove any portions that have thawed.
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.
●
For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat,
and poultry from its original closed paper or
plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the
wrap will hold steam and juice close to the
foods, which can cause the outer surface of
the foods to cook.
●
Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
● Food should still be somewhat icy in the
center when removed from the oven.
QUICK DEFROST
Use this function to thaw only 1 lb. of ground meat,
poultry and steaks chops very quickly.
NOTE: The oven beeps during the defrost cycle. After
it beeps, open the door and turn over, separate, or
rearrange the food. QUICK DEFROST provides just
enough defrosting so that the food can be used in
recipes or for cooking. Some ice crystals remain.
Example: Quick Defrost
1. Touch STOP/CLEAR.
2. Touch QUICK DEFROST.
