Weight Defrost / Timed Defrost
The Weight Defrost feature’s preset programs can be used, the Timed Defrost feature can be used, or the microwave oven can be
manually set to defrost.
■ 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 “Aluminum Foil
and Metal” first.
Weight Defrost
The Weight Defrost feature has preset times and cook powers for
3 categories: Meat, Poultry and Fish. 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.
“dEF1” will appear in the display. Touch WEIGHT DEFROST a
second time for “dEF2,” or a third time for “dEF3,” if
defrosting poultry or fish. See chart.
To select your desired program, touch START or wait
5 seconds, and the prompt for entering weight will appear in
the display.
3. Enter the weight.
Weight can be set from 0.3 lb to 6.3 lbs (136 g to 2.86 kg).
4. Touch START/ENTER.
The display will count down the defrost time.
The cycle may be interrupted briefly to turn food, if necessary,
by opening the door. Close the door and touch
START/ENTER to resume the cycle.
When the cycle ends, “End” will appear in the display, and the
end-of-cycle tones will sound.
5. Touch OFF/CANCEL or open the door to clear the display.
Timed Defrost

by opening the door. Close the door and touch
START/ENTER to resume the cycle.
When the cycle ends, “End” will appear in the display, and the
end-of-cycle tones will sound.
