●Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package. Tightly closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented, AFTER food has partially defrosted, as directed by package. Plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered.

●For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time.
●Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.
●Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed
to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
Questions and Answers
Q. When I press START, I hear a dull, thumping noise. What is it?
A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High).
Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?
A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention than usual. Raise the power level after entering the time by touching the desired power level pad. Power Level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about 1/2; Power Level 10 cuts the total defrosting time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or stir food frequently.
