The automatic Weight Defrost feature or the manual Timed
Defrost feature can be used.
Unwrap foods and remove lids (for example, from fruit juice
■
containers) before defrosting.
Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than
■
deep blocks.
Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the
■
end of the cycle for more even defrosting.
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food
■
such as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See the
"Aluminum Foil and Metal" section first.
Weight Defrost
The Weight Defrost feature uses weight input. It should not
be used for food that has been left outside the freezer for more
than 20 minutes or for frozen ready-made food.
To Use Weight Defrost:
1. Place food, uncovered, on the turntable and close the door.
2. Touch WEIGHT DEFROST.
3. Enter the weight in pounds and tenths of a pound. Two digits
must be used. (For example, enter "05" for 0.5 lb, or "43"
for 4.3 lbs.)
Weight can be set from 0.1 lb to 6.5 lbs (45 g to 2.9 kg).
4. Touch START.
The display will count down the defrost time.
During defrosting, 2 tones will sound. These tones indicate
it is time to check, turn, rearrange, or separate food. Open
door, turn food if necessary, close door, and touch START
to resume defrosting.
When the cycle ends, "End" will appear in the display and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound.
