NOTE:
1. You can program 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 (or additional
1.1 and 1.3) kg in the KG mode. See the DEFROST

Adjustment. Touch the

twice after selecting the amount. See page 19.
3. To defrost other foods or foods above or below the
weights allowed on DEFROST CHART. Use time and
30% power. See MANUAL DEFROST page 18.
4. You may choose to enter the weight in tenths of
pounds. This procedure may be easier with larger
weights such as 3 pounds because it requires
fewer touches. To program, touch desired DEFROST
pad and enter weight by touching the number pads.
Ex: touch
STEAKS/CHOPS
pad then
3
and
0
for a
weight of 3.0 lb or touch

DEFROST
Defrost automatically defrosts all the foods shown in the
DEFROST CHART below.
Round the weight to the nearest half pound. (Ex: if the
steak’s actual weight is 2.2 lb round to 2.0 lb. If the
steak’s weight is 2.4 lb round to 2.5 lb.)
To enter weight, touch the desired DEFROST pad for
a 0.5 lb increase per touch. (Ex: touch four times for
2.0 lb.)
