[. . . ] The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly than a deep block. Auto Defrost is programmed for specific weights. Defrost results will be affected if you enter an incorrect weight. Auto Defrost is programmed for frozen food at 0° F. If food is stored at a higher temperature, expect shorter defrost times. After 1/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the food. You may wish to turn over, break apart, rearrange or remove thawed portions of the food. During Auto Defrost, the oven will prompt you to turn the food over. At this point, open oven door and check the food. Follow the techniques listed below for optimum defrost results. Then, close oven door, touch the START Pad to complete defrosting. x Turn Over : Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey breasts, hot dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops. x Rearrange : Break apart or separate steaks, chops, hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or seafood pieces, chunks of meat such as stew beef. x Shield : Use small strips of aluminum foil to protect thin areas or edges of unevenly shaped foods such as chicken wings. To prevent arching, do not allow foil to come within 1-inch of oven walls or door. x Remove : To prevent cooking, thawed protions should be removed from the oven at this point. This may shorten defrost time for foods weighing less than 3-lbs. After defrosting, allow food to stand 5 to 10 minutes if there are any icy areas. If large solid roasts, such as sirloin tip or rump roasts, are not completely thawed after standing, return roast to oven and program Auto Defrost for 1 lb. 11 Two Stage Cooking This feature lets you program two sequential operations such as defrosting and cooking or cooking Basic Instructions 1.
