DEFROST CENTER
DEFROST CENTER automatically defrosts all the
foods shown in the DEFROST CENTER CHART below.

steak's actual weight is 2.2 lb round to 2.0 lb. If the
steak's weight is 2.4 lb round to 2.5 lb). To enter weight,
touch the desired DEFROST CENTER pad for a 0.5 lb
increase per touch. (Ex: touch four times for 2.0 lb).
Suppose you want to defrost a 2.0 pound steak .

NOTE:
1. DEFROST CENTER can be programmed with
More or Less Time Adjustment. Touch the POWER
LEVEL pad once or twice after selecting the
amount. See page 16.
2. To defrost other foods or foods above or below
the weights allowed on the DEFROST CENTER
CHART, use time and 30% power. See MANUAL
DEFROST on page 10.
3. You may choose to enter the weight in tenths of
pounds. This procedure may be easier with larger
weights such as 3 pounds because it requires
fewer touches. To program, touch desired DEFROST
CENTER pad and enter weight by touching the
number pads. (Ex: touch STEAKS/CHOPS pad
then 3 and 0 for a weight of three pounds or
touch STEAKS/CHOPS pad, then 2 and 2 for a
weight of 2.2 lb.)
If you attempt to enter more or less than the allowed
amount as indicated in the chart below, ERROR will
appear in the display.
4. To use any DEFROST CENTER pad, touch within
3 minutes after cooking, opening and closing the
door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.

After the 2nd stage, open the door and shield
any warm portions. Close the door.
After defrost cycle ends, cover and let stand
as indicated in chart below.
NOTE:
Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue
thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals are thawed.
Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth
strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.
