DEFROST

Defrost automatically defrosts ground meat, steaks, chops and poultry. Round the weight to the nearest

half pound. (Ex. if the steak' s actual weight is 2.2 lb, round to 2.0 lb. If the steak' s weight is 2.4 lb, round

to 2.5 lb.)

• Suppose you want to defrost a 2.0 lb steak.

P R O C E D U R E

You do not need to select

food. To enter weight, touch

the DEFROST pad for a .5 lb

increase per touch.

Quickly touch DEFROST

pad 4 times for 2.0 lb be-

cause the oven starts auto-

matically.

The oven will stop so that the food can be

checked.

After the 1st stage, open the door.

Turn steak over and shield any warm por-

tions. Close the door.

Touch START pad.

After the 2nd stage, open the door. Shield

any warm portions. Close the door.

Touch START pad.

After defrost cycle ends, cover and let stand

as indicated in chart below.

Steaks/Chops

(0.3-1.3 kg)

Boneless Poultry

(0.3-1.3 kg)

Bone-in Poultry

(0.3-1.3 kg)

NOTE: Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to

continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals are thawed.

Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use

small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.

.5-3.0 lb

Remove any thawed pieces after each stage.

Let stand, covered, 5 to 10 minutes.

.5-3.0 lb

After each stage of defrost cycle, rearrange and if there are warm or

thawed portions, shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove

any meat that is nearly defrosted.

Let stand, covered, 10 to 20 minutes.

.5-3.0 lb

Use boneless breast of chicken or turkey. After each stage, if there are

warm or thawed portions, rearrange or remove. Let stand, covered, for

10 to 20 minutes.

.5-3.0 lb

Arrange pieces with meatiest portions toward outside of glass dish or

microwave safe rack. After each stage, if there are warm or thawed

portions, rearrange or remove. Let stand, covered, for 10 to 20 min-

utes.

NOTE:

1. Defrost can only be entered within 3 minutes

after cooking, opening and closing the door or

touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.

2. Defrost can be programmed with More or Less

Time Adjustment. See page 16.

3. You may choose to enter the weight in tenths of

pounds. This procedure may be easier with

larger weights such as 3.0 lb because it requires

fewer touches. To program, touch DEFROST

and enter weight by touching the number pads.

Example: touch DEFROST then 3 and 0 for a

weight of three pounds. If you attempt to enter

more or less than the allowed amount,

will appear in the display.

4. To defrost other foods or foods above or below

the weights allowed on DEFROST CHART be-

low, use time and 30% power. See Manual De-

frost on page 12.
