AUTO DEFROST

Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost
sequences. Using AUTO DEFROST is the best way to
defrost frozen foods. The Auto Defrost Sequence
Table below provides some basic guidelines for using
the three defrost sequences.

NOTES:

• After you touch START, the display counts down the

defrost time. The oven will beep once during the
Defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn,
separate, or rearrange the food as needed. Remove
any portions that have thawed then return frozen
portions to the oven and touch START to resume the
defrost cycle.

• The oven will not stop during the BEEP unless

the door is opened.

Weight conversion chart

You are probably used to food weights as being in
pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for
example 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). 
However, in order to enter food weight in AUTO
DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a
pound. If the weight on the food package is in
fractions of a pound, you can use the following chart
to convert the weight to decimals.

DEFROSTING TIPS

• When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be

entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of
pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

• Only use AUTO DEFROST for raw food. AUTO

DEFROST gives best results when food to be
thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a
“true” freezer). If food has been stored in a
refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a
temperature of 5°F or below, always program a 
lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to
prevent cooking the food.

• If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20

minutes, enter a lower food weight.

• The shape of the package alters the defrosting 

time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more
quickly than a deep block.

• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

• You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield

foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but
the foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil 
can damage the oven lining.

• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they

start to become warm.

• For better results, a preset standing time is 

included in the defrosting time.
