Auto defrosting guide

•Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.

Food	Amount	Procedure

Roast Beef, Pork	1.13 - 2.6 kg	Start with the food placed fat side down.
		After each stage, turn the food over and
		shield any warm portions with narrow strips of
		aluminum foil.

Steaks, Chops,	0.23 - 1.36 kg	After each stage, rearrange the food. If there
Fish		are any warm or thawed portions of food,
		shield them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum
		foil. Remove any pieces of food that are
		nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered, for 5-10
		minutes.

Ground Meat	0.23 - 1.36 kg	After each stage, remove any pieces of food
		that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered
		with foil, for 5–10 minutes.

Whole Chicken	1.13 - 2.6 kg	Remove giblets before freezing poultry.
		Start defrosting with the breast side down.
		After the first stage, turn the chicken over and
		shield any warm portions with narrow strips of
		aluminum foil. After the second stage, again
		shield any warm portions with narrow strips of
		aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for 30–60
		minutes in the refrigerator.

Chicken Pieces	0.23 - 1.36 kg	After each stage, rearrange or remove any
		pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let
		stand for 10-20 minutes.

Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the food has defrosted.

Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.
