ONE TOUCH COOK

AUTO DEFROST

Using Auto Defrost

• 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.

Weight Defrost

Time Defrost

NOTES

When half of the time has elapsed, the buzzer will sound to remind us to turn over the food.

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 food, which can cause the outer surface of the food 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 container 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 the covering on the 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, 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.

NOTES

• If between two decimal weights, choose the lower weight for the best defrosting results.

AUTO DEFROST

Auto Defrost Table

• NOTE: Meat of irregular shape and large, fatty cuts of meat should have the narrow or fatty areas shielded with foil at the beginning of the defrost sequence.

Defrosting Tips

• When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).
• Before starting, make sure to remove any metal twist-ties that often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.
• Open containers, such as cartons, before placing them in the oven.
• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
• If food is foil-wrapped, remove the foil and place the food in a suitable container.
• Slit the skin of skinned food, such as sausage.
• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.
• Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting.
• The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen.
• The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
• Separated pieces defrost more easily.
• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm.
• Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven.
• The foil can damage the oven lining.
• For better results, let food stand after defrosting.
• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time. Break apart and remove food as required.
