Defrost

The Defrost feature can be used, or the microwave oven can be manually set to defrost by using 30% cook power.

■Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal 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-cycle for more even defrosting.

■Foods left outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes or frozen ready-made food should not be defrosted using the Custom Defrost feature, but should be defrosted manually.

■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” first.

DEFROST CHART

The Custom Defrost system has six categories: Meat, Poultry, Fish, Bagel, Fruit Juice, and Roll/Muffin. Use the following chart as a guide.
