AUTO DEFROST
AUTO DEFROST thaws frozen food without entering
a cook time or cook power, Three defrost categories
are preset in your oven: Meat, Poultry, and Fish. See
the "Auto Defrost Chartl' below.
NOTES:
, For added convenience, AUTO DEFROST has a
built-in reminder tone to tell you when to check, turn
over, separate, or rearrange food. The oven wilt
sound a tone twice during the defrost cycle. At each
tone, open the door and _urn, separate, or rearrange
food. Remove any portions that have thawed.
Return frozen portion to the oven and touch START
to resume, the defrost cycle.
You can defrost foods that weigh &t to 6.0 !bs
(0. ! -4.0 kg}.
For best results:
, Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its
ofigina_ c_osed paper or plastic package (wrapper).
Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close
to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of
the foods to cook.
- Shape ground meat into the form of a doughnut
before freezing. When defrosting, remove thawed
meat when the reminder tone sounds and continue
defrosting.
oPlace foods in a sha_tow container or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
, Food should still be somewhat icy ir_the center
when removed from the oven.
