PROGRAMMED DEFROSTING CHART

The defrosting times in this chart have been made available specifically for use with the "Programmed Defrost" feature.

PROGRAMMED DEFROSTING

INSTRUCTIONS:

®For best results, remove fish/seafood/meat/poultry from its original paper or plastic closed package

(wrapper).

Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.

®When it is difficult to remove the wrap from the foods,

defrost the wrapped food for about a quarter of the total defrost time, which is displayed at beginning of the

defrost cycle. Remove the wrap from foods.

®Metal clip and pop-up timers may be left in poultry. Metal twisters must be removed from bags. They may be replaced with rubber bands.

o Place food in a flat glass baking dish to catch drippings.

®Use the "Programmed Defrost" setting to thaw fish, seafood, meat and poultry, according to the times in the chart below. Thaw completely before cooking.

®Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.

®The chart gives you standing times and standing tech- niques needed to complete the thawing process.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The defrosting power setting (power level 30) should not be confused with this "Pro-

grammed Defrost." The defrost cooking level is a low- energy setting used to cook foods that need slow, gentle cooking. Use the defrost cooking level to reheat many frozen convenience foods and also to defrost small bread items.
