DEFROST CHART
The Custom Defrost system has 6 categories: Meat, Poultry, Fish,
Bagel, Fruit Juice, and Roll/Muffin. Use the following chart as a
guide.
*See Preparation chart at end of “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.
To use Defrost:
1. Touch DEFROST. “CODE” will appear in the display.
2. Touch the number pad from the Defrost chart to select food
OR
Touch DEFROST repeatedly to scroll through foods.
3. Touch number pads from the Defrost chart to select the
weight or quantity
OR
Touch 0 QUANTITY (number pad “0”) repeatedly to select
quantity.
NOTE: You must use 0 QUANTITY pad to select a fruit juice
quantity.
4. Touch START or wait 5 seconds, and the microwave oven will
start automatically.
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.
If you have chosen settings 1, 2 or 3, four tones will sound in
the middle of the cycle and “TURN” will appear in the display
for 5 seconds. Turn food if desired, close door, and touch
START.
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 UPPER OFF/CANCEL or open the door to clear the
display and/or stop reminder tones.
