“
defrost by weight
”
Set DEFROST BY WEIGHT for any weight up to 6
pounds. Because it is a more gentle defrost
setting than
“
Speed Defrost
”
, it is especially good
for meats which are dense in the center but
vulnerable to overcooking on the edges. For
meats as small as a pound of hamburger or
delicate shrimp, choosing DEFROST BY WEIGHT
will give more even thawed results than SPEED
DEFROST setting. Choose DEFROST BY
WEIGHT for large roasts.
l
Check weight of meat. It must be in pounds
and ounces. If label gives weight in pounds
only, you can change the fraction of a pound
to ounces using chart on page 11. Unwrap
meat before defrosting. Touch DEFROST BY
WEIGHT pad. Word prompt ENTER shows in
display and 0
’
s show where LB and OZ
should be entered. LB flashes until you enter
pound(s) by touching correct number pad.
When pound(s) has been entered, LB will
stop flashing and OZ will flash. As soon as all
these digits have been set, display will
immediately show cook time. Ounce weights
less than 10 must be preceded by a 0. As
soon as three digits are set, display
immediately shows cook time.
l
Touch START/STOP pad to start oven. CODE
flashes in display as time counts down.
Interior light goes on, turntable rotates and
fan sound is heard.
l
After partial defrosting, oven beeps twice and
stops. Interior light goes off but time remains
on the display. This pause in operation is to
allow turning over, rearranging or shield. After
attending to meat appropriately, touch START
to resume the time on display and finish
cooking. After total cooking time, 4 long
beeps sound and END appears in display.
Touch RESET or open oven door to clear
END before starting another cooking function.
Notes:
l
Allow enough time for defrosting because it is
more slow and gradual than SPEED
DEFROST. With DEFROST BY WEIGHT, low
power microwaving is interspersed within
“
resting
”
and
“
standing
”
periods where no
microwave at all enter the oven. These
no-microwave periods allow meat to equalize
in temperature before next period of
microwaving automatically comes on.
l
“
DEPROST BY WEIGHT
”
automatically sets
the correct thawing time, but you must enter
the food weight accurately. Weight must be in
pounds and ounces. Place meat on
microwave-safe rack in microwave roasting
dish. Place meats fat-side down and poultry
breast-side down.
