DEFROST
The Auto Defrost Indicator Light
will appear and flash in the display
window. The Enter Category Indicator
Light will also flash.
2. Press the AUTO DEFROST pad again to select
the food category. The indicator light will move
across the display window under the three choices
(Meat, Poultry, Fish) as the AUTO DEFROST
pad is pressed.
3. Press the appropriate number pads
to enter the weight of the food. Food
weights must be entered in pounds and
tenths of pounds. Refer to the chart
below for conversion of package
weights in ounces into decimal numbers.
For example: Press the number pads 1 and 2 for
weight of 1.2 pounds (1 pound, 3 ounces). See the
Conversion Guide. If the weight is not entered
within three seconds after choosing the food
category, the Enter Weight Indicator Light will
appear and flash in the display as a signal to enter
the weight of the food.
If an entered weight is not within the range of the
minimum and maximum weights for each category,
the control will beep, signaling that the food is too
large or too small to be defrosted using the Auto
Defrost function.
4. Press the START pad.
The Auto Defrost Indicator Light will continue to
flash in the display. When the pre-programmed
defrosting time has run out, the oven control will beep
and the word “END” will appear in the display.
Stand Time
When using the Auto Defrost
feature, it is necessary to allow food
to stand in order to finish defrosting
the interior. You may take the food
out of the oven if you wish. In some
cases, it should stand in your
refrigerator. Stand time
recommendations are given in
the Auto Defrost Guide.
Conversion Guide
If the weight of food is stated
in pounds and ounces, the ounces
must be converted to tenths
(.1) of a pound.
