BY TIME
OPERATION
The weight amount must be a valid entry for this
feature to start. A valid weight entry is 0.1 to 6.0
pounds.
Power levels cannot be changed for both defrost
(by weight) or defrost (by time) because the
defrost performance will be adversely affected.
1. Press Defrost wt/time pad once. 0.0
will appear in the display.
2. Use the numeric pads to input
weight of food to defrost in pounds
(10 = 1.0lb.) You may enter any
weight from 0.1 to 6.0lbs.
3. Press START pad.
1. Press Defrost wt/time pad twice.
0.00 will appear in the display.

TTING DEFROST (BY WEIGHT)
Example: to defrost 1lb. of food with the default
power level and cook time determined
automatically:
SETTING DEFROST (BY TIME)
Example: to defrost food with the default 30%
power level for 5 minutes:
• After pressing START key, the display will count
down remaining defrost time. The oven will beep
during the defrost cycle. At this time open the
door and turn the food if needed and remove
any portions that have already thawed. Press the
START key to resume the defrost cycle.
• When heating has finished you will hear beeps.
• When using the defrost weight feature, the
weight entered should always be pounds (valid
entries are from 0.1 to 6.0 pounds).
• Use both defrost weight and defrost time
features for raw food items only. Defrosting
gives best results when food to be thawed is a
minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a true
freezer). If the food has been stored in a refrig-
erator-freezer that does not maintain a tempera-
ture of 5° F or below, always program a lower
food weight or lower cook time to prevent
cooking the food.
• If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer
for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time
or weight.
• The shape of the package will alter the defrost-
ing time. Shallow rectangular food packets
defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of
food.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Sepa-
rated frozen pieces of food defrost better.
• Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of
foil if they start to become warm.
• You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to
shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and
fish tails, but do not allow the foil to touch the
oven cavity walls when defrosting.
