Auto Chef Programs
Place the food in a dish that is suitably sized for the 

amount of food you want to cook. Use cookware that is 

suited for both microwave and conventional cooking.

▯

For meat pieces enter total weight of all the pieces.

▯

Use a meat thermometer to check meat temperatures 

after stand time.

▯

Place food on countertop and cover with foil during 

stand time.

With the Auto Defrost feature you can defrost three 

different types of food by entering the weight. The ideal 

defrost time will be calculated by the program.

Ovenware for defrosting
Place the food in a microwaveable shallow dish, such as 

a glass casserole dish or glass plate, but do not cover.

Stand time
The defrosted food should be left to stand for an 

additional 10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an even 

temperature. Large pieces of meat require a longer 

standing time than smaller pieces. Flat pieces of meat 

and items made from ground meat should be separated 

from each other before leaving to stand.
After this time, you can continue to prepare the food, 

even thought thick pieces of meat may still be frozen in 

the middle.

Setting Auto Defrost
The appliance must be turned off.
Example: Set Auto Defrost for Ground Meat.

Take the food out of the packaging and weigh it, then 

place it in a suitable dish on the ceramic tray.

Touch Auto Defrost.
