CUSTOM DEFROST CHART
The Custom Defrost system has six categories: Meat, Poultry,
Fish, Bagel, Fruit Juice, and Roll/Muffin. Use the following chart
as a guide.
*See Preparation chart at end of “Custom Defrost” section for
cuts, sizes, and instructions.
**Bagel quantity settings 1 and 2 may appear to have longer
defrost times than necessary, however, longer times use less
cooking power.

or

4. Touch EASY MINUTE START.
The display will count down the defrost time. For better
results, a preset standing time is included in the defrosting
time. This may make the defrosting time seem longer than
expected.
When the cycle ends, “End” will appear in the display,
4 end-of-cycle tones will sound, and then reminder tones
will sound every minute.
5. Touch MICROWAVE OVEN CANCEL or open the door to clear
the display.
The cook time can be changed during the defrosting cycle
without interrupting cooking.
