5. Auto Defrost is programmed for frozen food at
0˚F. If food is stored at a higher temperature,
expect shorter defrost times.
6. After 1/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check
the food. You may wish to turn over, break apart,
rearrange or remove thawed portions of the food.
7. During Auto Defrost, the oven will prompt you
to turn the food over.
At this point, open oven
door and check the food. Follow the techniques
listed below for optimum defrost results. Then,
close oven door, the touch Start Pad to complete
defrosting.
• Turn Over: Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey
breasts, hot dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops.
• Rearrange: Break apart or separate steaks,
chops, hamburger patties, ground meat,
chicken or seafood pieces, chunks of meat such
as stew beef.
• Shield: Use small strips of aluminum foil to
protect thin areas or edges of unevenly shaped
foods such as chicken wings. To prevent arcing,
do not allow foil to com within 1-inch of oven
walls or door.
• Remove: To prevent cooking, thawed portions
should be removed from the oven at this point.
This may shorten defrost time for foods
weighing less than 3-lbs.
8. After defrosting, allow food to stand 5 to 10
minutes if there are any icy areas. If large solid
roasts, such as sirloin tip or rump roasts, are not
completely thawed after standing, return roast to
oven and program Auto Defrost for 1 lb.
