Cooking Instructions
Auto Defrosting Guide
• Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.
Notes
Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections may still be icy; let them stand
to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with
small pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the food has defrosted.
