AUTO COOKING

USING AUTO DEFROST

OPERATING TIPS

1. 

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 the food in order to

get the best defrost results. Three different defrosting 

levels are provided:

                1. MEAT

                 2. POULTRY

                 3. FISH

Available weight is 0.1-6.0 lbs.

• 

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, roll your ground meat into a ball 

  before freezing. During the DEFROST cycle, the

  microwave will signal when it is time to turn the 

  meat over. Scrape off any excess frost from the 

  meat and continue defrosting. 

• Place foods in a shallow containers or on a 

microwave 

  roasting rack to catch drippings.

This table shows food type selections and the weights

you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or 

remove covering on food.

If between two decimal weights, choose the lower 

weight for the best defrosting results.

Weight conversion table

You are probably used to measuring food 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

 Equivalent  Weight
