AUTOmTIC
DEFROSTmG
With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven automatically
sets the defrosting time and power levels for you. You
choose the appropriate code number from 1 to 3 for
the food you are defrosting, then enter the food weight
in pounds and tenths of a pound (See Conversion
Guide below) and touch START. The oven calculates
the defrosting time and changes power levels during
defrosting to give even defrosting results.
When the oven reaches one-third of the total
defrosting time, the display flashes “Turn,” telling
you to turn food over and will not continue defrosting
until door is opened and START is touched again.
After defrosting time is complete, the oven
automatically turns off.
