Questions and Answers
Q. Why don’t the defrosting times in the cookbook seem right for my food?
A. Cookbook times are averages, and defrosting time required can vary according to the temperature in your freezer. Set your oven for the time given in the cookbook. If your food is not completely thawed at the end of that time, reset the oven and adjust the time for additional defrosting.
Q. Can I open the door during the Microwave Defrost cycle?
A. Yes. You may open the door at any time during microwaving. To resume defrosting, just close the door and touch START again.
Q. When I defrosted hamburger patties, the edges were already cooked. Why is this?
A. The density and size of the food makes a difference when defrosting. Try using the minimum recommended defrost time first. Most meat patties must be rotated during total defrosting time.
