Plate of food
1 serving

Use only pre-cooked, refrigerated foods. Cover the plate with a vented plastic wrap or
waxed paper tucked under the plate. If the food is not as hot as you would like after
using the reheat function, continue heating using additional time and power.
Contents:
3-4 oz. meat, poultry, or fish (up to 6 oz. with bone)
½ cup starch (potatoes, pasta, rice, etc.)
½ cup vegetables (about 3-4 oz.)

Cover the plate with a lid or vented plastic wrap. If the food is not as hot as you would
like after using the reheat function, continue heating using additional time and power.
Stir the food once before serving.

3-4 oz. meat, poultry or fish (up to 6 oz. with bone)
½ cup starch (potatoes, pasta, rice, etc.)
½ cup vegetables (about 3-4 oz.)
Pasta
The ‘right’ temperature of the food varies from person to person. Allow food to stand 1 to 5 minutes before serving.
AUTO DEFROST BUTTON
The auto defrost cycle, with its preset settings, provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods, because
the oven automatically sets the defrosting times according to the weight you enter. For added convenience, the auto
defrost function beeps to remind you to check or turn over the food during the defrost cycle.
Press the
Auto Defrost
button once, and then select the food weight. The available weights range from 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.
1.
Press the
Auto Defrost
button.
2.
Use the number buttons to enter the weight.
3.
Press the
OK/START
button.
After pressing the
OK/START
button, the display counts down the defrosting time. The oven will beep twice during
the defrost cycle. When the oven beeps twice, open the door and turn the food as needed. Remove any thawed
portions, then return the frozen portions to the oven and press the
OK/START
button to resume the defrost cycle.
Note that the defrost cycle remains active while the oven is beeping, pauses when you open the door to turn the
food, and then continues again when you press
OK/START
.
Defrosting tips
When using auto defrost, the entered weight is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food
minus the container).
Use the auto defrost cycle for raw food only. The auto defrost cycle gives best results when the food you want to thaw
is no colder than 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
the food from cooking.
If the food is left outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.
The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a thick
block.
Separate the pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated pieces defrost more easily.
Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.
You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food such as chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must
not touch the sides of the oven as foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.
