NOTE:
When you touch the START/ENTER 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/ENTER 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.
• For more defrost help, please read “Defrosting Tips”
following the Auto Defrost Table.
This table shows you food type selections and the
weights you can set for each type. For best
results, loosen or remove covering on food.

Weight conversion table
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.
