AUTO COOKING
USING AUTO DEFROST
Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.
The auto defrost feature provides you with the
best defrosting method for frozen foods.
The cooking guide will show you which defrost
sequence is recommended for the food you are
defrosting.
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes a
built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check,
turn over, separate, or rearrange the food in order to
get the best defrost results. Three different defrosting
levels are provided:
1. MEAT
2. POULTRY
3. FISH
Available weight is 0.1-6.0 lbs.

Suppose you want to defrost 0.6 lbs of meat.

OPERATING TIPS
• For best results, remove fish, shellfish,meat,
and poultry from its original closed paper or plastic
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.
• For best results, roll your ground meat into a ball
before freezing. During the DEFROST cycle, the
microwave will signal when it is time to turn the
meat over. Scrape off any excess frost from the
meat and continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow containers or on a microwave
roasting rack to catch drippings.
This table shows food type selections and the weights
you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or
remove covering on food.

Weight conversion table
You are probably used to measuring food in pounds
and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for
example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However,
in order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you
must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.
If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a
pound, you can use the following table to convert
the weight to decimals.
