counts down the defrost time. The oven will beep once

The oven will not stop
following 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.

the weight you enter. For added convenience, the

the food during the defrost cycle. Four different
defrosting presets are provided, plus the option to set
your own defrost time.
