How to Set Auto Defrost
Before you begin, check the Auto Defrost guide
located in this section. It shows minimum and
maximum food weights for a variety of foods.
You will need to know your food weight before
setting Auto Defrost.
Step 1: Remove food from package, place in oven
on microwave-safe dish and close door.
Step 2: Touch AUTO DEFROST pad.
Step 3: Enter weight. For example, touch number
pads 1 and 2 for weight of 1.2 pounds (1 pound,
3 ounces). See Conversion Guide below. After
approximately 5 seconds “START” flashes.
Step 4: Touch START pad. Display shows
defrost time counting down.
Twice during defrosting,
the oven beeps 4 times
and ‘‘TURn’’ flashes.
Follow the directions in
the Auto Defrost Guide
for what to do at the
first and second signal. Then close the door and
touch START pad.
When defrosting time is completed, ‘‘End’’ flashes
and oven beeps 4 times. ‘‘End’’ remains on display
and oven beeps every minute until door is opened or
CLEAR/OFF pad is touched.

With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven
automatically sets the defrosting times and
power levels for you.
Use the Auto Defrost Guide. Enter the food weight in
pounds and tenths of a pound (see Conversion Guide
below). Then touch START pad.
The oven calculates defrosting time and changes power
levels during defrosting to give even defrosting results.
After Auto Defrosting, meat needs to stand in order
to let the inside defrost. You may take the food out of
the oven if you wish. Stand time recommendations
are given in the Auto Defrost Guide.
If the weight of food is stated in
pounds and ounces, the ounces
must be converted to tenths (.1)
of a pound.
