GENERAL GUIDELINES

The benefit of this AUTO DEFROST feature is automatic setting and control of defrosting. But, just as in conventional defrosting, you must check the food during the defrosting time. Here are some important tips to remember about defrosting.

For best results when defrosting, remember :

Do not defrost less than 1/4 lb. of ground beef.

Freeze ground beef in a doughnut shape.

Press down the center of ground beef patties before freezing.

Meats, fish or poultry up to 6 lbs. defrost best.

To reduce moisture loss, defrost meats just before cooking.

To defrost convenience foods, follow package directions.

To prepare the item for defrosting, remember :

Remove the packaging.

NOTE : If the package is microwavable, pierce the package several times.

Note the weight of the item on the package.

When you calculate the weight of the item, round it to the nearest lower decimal.(See the weight conversion chart.)

Remove metal twist ties from the packaging.

For best results, remove meat, poultry, and fish from the original wrapper. The wrapper can hold steam and juice close to the food and cause the outer surface to cook.

If removing the wrapper is difficult, defrost the wrapped food for about 1/4 of the defrosting time (displayed at the beginning of the defrost cycle). Then remove the food from the oven and remove the wrapping. Return the food to the oven and touch START.
