Auto weight defrosting
Use Auto Weight Defrost to thaw frozen food
before cooking. This example shows the use of
the MEAT Command Pad. For suggested defrost
weight, see the “Auto weight defrost sequence
list” on the next page.
1. Put frozen food in the oven and close the
door.
2. Touch MEAT. The DEF 1 and 0.0 Indicators
will come on and the Ibs Indicator will start to
flash.
3. Touch Number Pads to enter the weight of the
food you want to defrost. The Display will
show the numbers you touched in the order
you touched them. This example shows
2
Ibs.
4. Touch START/ENTER. The DEF 1 and %
POWER Indicators will stay on to show that
the oven is in the Auto Weight Defrost cycle.
This Display counts down the time to show
how much defrosting time is left.
When the defrost time ends, “End” will show
on the Display and two short tones and one
long tone will sound. (You can stop the tones
by opening the door or by touching OFF/
CANCEL.) “End” will remain on the Display
until the door is opened or OFF/CANCEL is
touched. The Display will then show the time
of day.
NOTES:
l
The Auto Weight Defrost feature gives you
automatic setting and control of defrosting, but
just like conventional defrosting you must check
the foods during the defrosting time.
l
For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat
and poultry from its original paper or plastic
closed package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap
will hold steam and juice close to the foods
which can cause the outer surface of the foods
to cook.
l
When it is difficult to remove the wrap from the
foods, defrost the wrapped food for stage 1 of
the defrost time. At the tone, remove the wrap.
l
Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
l
Food should still be somewhat icy in the center
when removed from the oven.
