1. Touch DEFROST.
2. Choose food category.
3. Enter the weight.
4. Touch START/ENTER.
Four 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 DEFROST
includes a built-in tone mechanism that reminds you to
check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food during
the defrost cycle. Four different defrosting options are
provided.
1. MEAT
2. POULTRY
3. FISH
4. BREAD
After touching DEFROST once, select the food category.
Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry, and Fish are
0.1 to 6.0 lbs. The available weight range for Bread is 0.1
to 1.0 lb.
NOTE: After you touch START/ENTER, 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/ENTER 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.
• Form the meat into the shape of a doughnut before
freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when
the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or a on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
• Foods should still be somewhat icy in the center when
removed from the oven.
