Automatic
Defrosting
With the Auto Defrost feature,
the oven automatically sets the
defrosting time and power levels
for you. You choose the appropriate
code number from 1 to 6 for the
food you are defrosting, then enter
the food weight in pounds
tenths
of a pound (See Conversion Guide
below) and touch START. The oven
calculates the defrosting time and
changes power levels during
defrosting to give even defrosting
results.
When the oven reaches approximately
half of the total defrosting time, the
display flashes
telling
you to turn food over and will not
continue defrosting until door is
opened and START is touched
again.
After defrosting time is complete,
the oven automatically goes into a
holding period as shown on the
Automatic Defrosting Guide on
this page. This holding period is
necessary to finish the defrosting
of the interior of the food.
