Defrosting

The Auto Defrost feature can be used or the microwave oven can be manually set to defrost. To defrost manually, use 30% cooking power. Refer to a reliable cookbook for defrosting information.

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

■Unwrap foods and remove lids (for example, from fruit juice containers) 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 Auto Defrost system has 3 categories: Meat, Poultry and Fish. Auto Defrost 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.
