Auto Defrost
The Defrost Auto/Time
feature gives you two ways
to defrost frozen foods.
Press DEFROST
AUTO/TIME once for
Auto Defrost or twice for
Time Defrost.
Use Auto Defrost for meat,
poultry and fish. Use Time
Defrost for most other
frozen foods.
Auto Defrost automatically
sets the defrosting times
and power levels to give
even defrosting results for
meats, poultry and fish
weighing up to six pounds.
There is a handy guide
located on the inside front
of the oven.
• Remove meat from
package and place on
microwave-safe dish.
• Twice during defrost, the
oven signals TURN. At
each TURN signal, turn
the food over. Remove
defrosted meat or shield
warm areas with small
pieces of foil.
• After defrosting, most
meats need to stand
5 minutes to complete
defrosting. Large roasts
should stand for about
30 minutes.
1 Press DEFROST
AUTO/TIME once.
2 Using the Conversion
Guide at right, enter
food weight. For
example, press pads 1
and 2 for 1.2 pounds
(1 pound, 3 ounces).
3 Press START.
(Time Defrost is
explained in the Time
Features section.)
