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).

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 28.
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 21.
3. You may choose to enter the weight in tenths of
pounds. This procedure may be easier with larger
weights such as 4 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,

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.
