Auto Chef Programs
Place the food in a dish that is suitably sized for the
amount of food you want to cook. Use cookware that is
suited for both microwave and conventional cooking.

For meat pieces enter total weight of all the pieces.
▯
Use a meat thermometer to check meat temperatures
after stand time.
▯

Auto Defrost
With the Auto Defrost feature you can defrost three
different types of food by entering the weight. The ideal
defrost time will be calculated by the program.
Ovenware for defrosting
Place the food in a microwaveable shallow dish, such as
a glass casserole dish or glass plate, but do not cover.
Stand time
The defrosted food should be left to stand for an
additional 10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an even
temperature. Large pieces of meat require a longer
standing time than smaller pieces. Flat pieces of meat
and items made from ground meat should be separated
from each other before leaving to stand.
After this time, you can continue to prepare the food,
even thought thick pieces of meat may still be frozen in
the middle.
Setting Auto Defrost
The appliance must be turned off.
Example: Set Auto Defrost for Ground Meat.
1. Take the food out of the packaging and weigh it, then
place it in a suitable dish on the ceramic tray.
2. Touch Auto Defrost.
