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 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.

One of the standout features of Whirlpool microwaves is their convenient Smart Sensor technology.
