Defrosting

The auto defrost feature has 3 categories: Meat, Poultry and Fish. It should not be used for food left outside the freezer more than 20 minutes and frozen ready-made food. The microwave oven can also be manually set to defrost.

■Food should be 0ºF (-18ºC) or colder at defrosting for optimal results. How foods are stored can affect results.

■Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before defrosting.

■Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.

■Separate food pieces as soon as possible during, or at the end of the cycle for more even defrosting.

■Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section first.
