Two or More Plates

Two 10¹⁄₂-in. (26 cm) plates may be heated side by side, or one dish larger than the turntable, plus 2 plates on the cooking rack. For best results, halfway through heating, turn the plates (or larger dish) halfway around, and switch plates between top and bottom (if heating more than 2 plates). See “Cooking Rack” section.

The turntable must be turned off while heating 2 bottom plates or one larger dish. See “Turntable” section.

Defrosting

The automatic Defrost control can be used or the microwave oven can be manually set to defrost.

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.

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.

The automatic Defrost control has 4 categories: Meat, Poultry, Fish and Bread. It should not be used for food left outside the freezer more than 20 minutes and frozen ready-made food. Use the following chart as a guide.
