AUTO DEFROST
Three defrost choices are preset in the oven. The
defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting
method for frozen foods, because the oven
automatically sets the defrosting times for each food
item according to the weight you enter. For added
convenience, the
AUTO DEFROST
includes a built-in
tone mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over,
separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost
cycle. Three different defrosting options are provided.
1. MEAT
2. POULTRY
3. FISH
After touching
AUTO DEFROST
once, select the food
category. Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry
and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.
NOTE:
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).
Use
AUTO
DEFROST
only 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
shield
foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish
tailsbut
the foil must not touch the side of the
oven.Foil
causes arcing, which can damage the
Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if
they
start to become warm.
For even, complete defrosting, use the defrosting
rack.
For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on
a
microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents
the
possibility of warm meat juices cooking food
during
defrost.
