DEFROST
DEFROST automatically defrosts all the foods shown in the
DEFROST CHART.
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.)
To enter weight, touch the desired DEFROST pad for a 0.5 lb
increase per touch. (Ex: touch four times for 2.0 lb.)
Suppose you want to defrost a 2.0 pound steak.
1.Quickly touch Steak/Chops pad 4 times for 2.0 lb. The
microwave oven will start automatically.
The microwave oven will stop and directions will be displayed.
Follow the indicated message.
2.After the 1st stage, open the door, turn steak over and shield
any warm portions. Close the door. Touch START pad.
3.After the 2nd stage, open the door and shield any warm
portions. Close the door. Touch START pad.
After defrost cycle ends, cover and let stand as indicated in chart.
NOTE:
1.If you attempt to enter more or less than the allowed weight as
indicated in chart, ERROR will appear in the display.
2.DEFROST can be programmed with More or Less Time
Adjustment. See page 14.
3.To defrost other foods or foods above or below the weights
allowed on DEFROST CHART use time and 30% power. See
Manual Defrost on page 9.
4.You may choose to enter the weight in tenths of pounds. This
procedure may be easier with larger weights, such as 3 pounds,
because it requires fewer touches. To program, touch desired
DEFROST pad and enter weight by touching the number pads.
Ex: touch Steaks/Chops then 3 and 0 for a weight of three
pounds or touch Steaks/Chops then 2 and 2 for a weight of
2.2 lb.
5.To use any DEFROST pad, touch within 3 minutes after cooking,
opening and closing the door or touching the Clear/Off pad.
Remove any thawed pieces after each stage. Let stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes.
After each stage, rearrange and if there are warm or thawed portions, shield with small flat pieces of
aluminum foil. Remove any meat or fish that is nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered, for 10 to 20 minutes.
After each stage, if there are warm or thawed portions, rearrange or remove. Let stand, covered, for 10 to
20 minutes.
