DEFROSTING TIPS

*When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

*Before starting, make sure to remove any and all metal twist-ties that often come with frozen

food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.

*Open containers, such as cartons, before placing in the oven.

TWO-STAGE COOKING

For best results, some recipes call for different power levels during a cook cycle. You can program your oven for two power level stages during the cooking cycle.

Example: To sel a 2-slage cook cycle.

*Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting.

*The length of defrosting time varies according to how soNdly the food is frozen.

*The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.

*As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces. Separated pieces defrost more easily.

*Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.

*For better results, let food stand after defrosting. (For more information on standing time, see the "'Microwave Cooking Tips" section).

*Turn over food during defrosting or standing time. Break apart and remove food as required.
