Power Defrosting Automatically
To thaw frozen food, set the weight of the food and the microwave auto-
matically sets the defrosting time, power level and standing time.
1
Press the Power Defrost button. The display shows “0.5 lbs.”
(0.2Kg if you have set your oven for metric measure).
(“ENTER” and “ Lbs.” will flash).
2
To set the weight of your food, press the Power Defrost button
repeatedly. This increases the weight by 0.5 lb increments, up to
6.0 lbs (The Power Defrost button will increase the weight by 0.2Kg
up to 2.6kg if you are using metric measurement).
You can also use the number buttons to enter the weight of the
food directly.
The oven calculates the defrosting time and starts automatically.
Twice during defrosting, the oven will beep to let you know to turn
the food over.
3
Press the Pause/Cancel button, open the oven door, and turn the
food over.
4
Press the Start button to resume defrosting.
Auto Defrosting Guide
•
Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.
Notes
Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections
may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until
all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small
pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the
food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to
cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.
