Defrost

Use Auto Defrost for meat, poultry and fish.
Use Time Defrost for most other frozen foods.

Auto Defrost automatically sets the defrosting
times and power levels to give even defrosting
results for meats, poultry and fish weighing up
to six pounds.

1.

Press AUTO DEFROST.

2.

Using the conversion guide below, enter
food weight. For example, press pads 1 and 
2 for 1.2 pounds (1 pound, 3 ounces).

3.

Press START.

(Time Defrost is explained in the Time
Features section.)

There is a handy guide located on the inside
front of the oven.

• Remove meat from package and place on

microwave-safe dish.

• When the oven signals, turn the food over.

Remove defrosted meat or shield warm areas
with small pieces of foil.

• After defrosting, most meats need to stand 

5 minutes to complete defrosting. Large
roasts should stand for about 30 minutes.

Conversion Guide

If the weight of food is stated in pounds and
ounces, the ounces must be converted to
