Auto Defrost
Four defrost choices are preset in the oven.
The defrost feature provides you with the
best defrosting method for frozen foods,
because the oven automatically sets the
defrosting times for each food item according
to the weight you enter.
For added convenience,
Auto Defrost
includes a built-in tone mechanism that
reminds you to check, turn over, separate or
rearrange the food during the defrost cycle.
Four different defrosting options are provided:
1.
Meat
2.
Poultry
3.
Fish
4.
Bread
After touching
Auto Defrost
once, select
the food category. Available weight ranges
for Meat, Poultry and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.
The available weight range for Bread is
0.1 to 1.0 lb.
Example (defrosting 1.2 lbs of meat):
Touch
Auto Defrost
.
Choose the food category.
Enter the weight.
Touch
Start/Enter
.
NOTE:
After you touch
Start/Enter
, the
display counts down the defrost time. The
oven will beep once during the Defrost cycle.
At this time, open the door and turn, separate,
or rearrange the food as needed. Remove
any portions that have thawed, then return
frozen portions to the oven and touch
Start/Enter
to resume the defrost cycle.
The oven will not stop during the Beep
unless the door is opened.
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.
Form the meat into the shape of
a doughnut before freezing. When
defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when
the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish
or a on a microwave roasting rack to catch
drippings.
Foods should still be somewhat icy in
the center when removed from the oven.
