The Defrost Auto/Time feature
gives you two ways to defrost
frozen foods. Press DEFROST
AUTO/TIME once for Auto
Defrost or twice for Time Defrost.
Use Auto Defrost for meat, poultry
and fish. Use Time Defrost for
most other frozen foods.
Auto Defrost automatically sets the
defrosting times and power levels
to give even defrosting results for
meats, poultry and fish.
There is a handy guide located on
the inside front of the oven.
You will need to know the food
weight before setting Auto Defrost.
Twice during defrost, the oven
signals TURN. At each TURN
signal, turn food over. Remove
defrosted meat or shield warm
areas with small pieces of foil.
After defrosting, most meats
need to stand 5 minutes to com-
plete defrosting. Large roasts
should stand for about 30
minutes.
If the weight of food is stated in
pounds and ounces, the ounces
must be converted to tenths (.1)
of a pound.
