Auto Defrost
With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven automatically sets the defrosting
time and Power Levels for you. You enter the food weight in pounds and
tenths of a pound (See Conversion Chart below) and touch Start Pad. The
oven calculates the defrosting time and changes power levels during
defrosting to give even defrosting results.
Twice during defrosting, the oven beeps 4 times and the readout flashes
"TURN", telling you to turn food over and will not continue defrosting until
door is opened and Start Pad is touched again.
When using the Auto Defrost feature, it is necessary to allow the food to
stand. This standing period is necessary to finish the defrosting of the interior
of the food.
