the LIGHT ONLY setting, the bottom oven light only will 

illuminate.

Defrosting frozen meat & Poultry

Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, 

preferably in a refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per lb.) or 

at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per lb.). Frozen 

meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before 

cooking in the oven. However, to decrease the amount of 

time required to defrost food items, a nonheating fan only 

setting may be selected for the bottom oven only.

Operation: To assist in defrosting

Place food in the oven and close the oven door. Turn the 

Multifunction Control (D) clockwise to the FAN ONLY 

setting.
This defrosts by circulating the air around the food, time 

to defrost will depend on type and size of the food.
