Defrost uses only microwaves to defrost the food.

Defrost should not be used for food left out of the freezer for more than 20 minutes, or for frozen ready-made food.

Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at the time the cycle is started for optimal results. How foods are stored can affect results.

Unwrap foods and remove lids (for example, from fruit juice containers) before defrosting.

Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than thick 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” first.

See “Cook Method Chart” for specific food items and amounts.

To Use: Touch “Cook Method” on Main Menu, touch “Defrost,” and then follow screen prompts to make your selections, and to start the cycle.

Defrost programs are set by the weight of the food item in pounds and/or ounces. If the weight is not known, touch “Weight Unknown” on the touch screen, and follow the prompts. Preparation instructions for each food item will be displayed while you are programming the cycle.
