AUTO DEFROST
Four defrost sequences are preset in the oven.
The auto defrost feature provides you with the best
defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking guide
will show you which defrost sequence is recommended
for the food you are defrosting. For added convenience,
the Auto Defrost includes a built-in beep mechanism
that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or
rearrange to get best defrost results.

and DEFROST.
NOTE;
When you touch the START pad, 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.
Operating Tips
■ 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.
' For best results, shape your ground meat into the
form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,
scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and
continue defrosting.
■ Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave
roasting rack to catch drippings.
Weight conversion tabie
You are probably used to food weights as being in
pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for
example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in
order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you must
specify pounds and tenths of a pound.
If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a
pound, you can use the following table to convert the
weight to decimals.
EQUIVALENT WEIGHT
OUNCES DECIMAL WEIGHT
1.6 .10
3.2 .20
4.0 .25 One-Quarter Pound
4.8 .30
6.4 .40
8.0 .50 One-Half Pound
9.6 .60
11.2 .70
12.0 .75 Three-Quarters Pound
12.8 .80
