Note: If you do not open the door when an audible
signal sounds, the defrosting cycle will continue
and the defrosting time will count down to 0.
TIPS: Allow foods to stand a few minutes after
defrosting to equalize the temperature for
better cooking results.
Check food after standing. If additional time is
needed, continue to defrost with time cooking.
It is better to defrost with 30% power for R-
21LT. For R-21LV, it is better to defrost with
Express Defrost continuously.
Foods that are the same thickness throughout
defrost better. If foods have varied thickness,
it may be necessary to shield the thin edges
with small flat pieces of aluminum foil to prevent
overdefrosting.
Express Defrost
Use Express Defrost to defrost meat and poultry
faster and better. Calculate total defrost time from
chart below. Express Defrost can be programmed for

chops for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
