Answer:

This information is for Legacy Convection Steam Oven models with a knob. For Legacy CSO models with touch controls, refer to Defrost Food in a Legacy Convection Steam Oven (Touch Control).

Using a low steam temperature of 85°F, the Steam Mode provides the ideal way to defrost foods quickly, easily, and with better results than a microwave.

• Use the Convection Steam Oven to defrost any food you would defrost in a microwave.

Both wire racks may be used, and the solid pan should be used to catch any drips from the foods as they defrost.

1. Place the frozen foods on the wire racks set on position 2 and 3.
2. Place the solid steam oven pan on rack position 1 (lowest rack position).
3. Turn the oven to Steam Mode at 85°F.
4. Check foods after 15 minutes. Continue defrosting if necessary.
