Operation
Auto Defrosting Guide
• Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.
Notes
Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections may
still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crys-
tals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small pieces of foil pre-
vents the edges from cooking before the center of the food has defrosted. Use
narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges and thinner sec-
tions of the food.
