WEIGHT DEFROST
The DEFROST TIME/WEIGHT feature gives you two ways to defrost frozen foods. Press
DEFROST TIME/WEIGHT once for WEIGHT DEFROST or twice for TIME DEFROST.
Use WEIGHT DEFROST for meat, poultry and fish. Use TIME DEFROST for most other
frozen foods.
WEIGHT DEFROST automatically sets the defrosting times and power levels to give even
defrosting results for meats, poultry and fish weighing up to 6 pounds.
1. Press DEFROST TIME/WEIGHT once.
2. Using the Conversion Guide below, enter food weight. For example, press pads 1 and 2 for
1.2 pounds (1 pound, 3 ounces).
3. Press START/PAUSE.
(Time Defrost is explained in the About the Time Features section.)
There is a handy guide located on the front of the oven.
• Remove meat from package and place on microwave-safe dish.
• Twice during defrost, the oven signals TURN. At each TURN signal, turn the food over. Remove defrosted meat or
shield warm areas with small pieces of foil.
• After defrosting, most meats need to stand 5 minutes to complete defrosting. Large roasts should stand for about
30 minutes.
