Defrosting

Defrosting

The auto defrost feature has 3 categories: Meat, Poultry and Fish. It should not be used for food left outside the freezer more than 20 minutes and frozen ready-made food. The microwave oven can also be manually set to defrost.

Food should be 0ºF (-18ºC) or colder at defrosting for optimal results. How foods are stored can affect results.

Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before defrosting.

Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.

Separate food pieces as soon as possible during, or at the end of the cycle for more even defrosting.

Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section first.

Baked Goods

The oven has a baking function which uses the grill element in conjunction with the Browning Pan and microwaves. Times and cooking powers have been programmed for 5 baked goods settings.

The oven cavity and door will become very hot during grill element use. The use of oven mitts is recommended.

The Browning Pan will become very hot. Use oven mitts to remove pan from oven. Do not place hot Browning Pan directly on heat-sensitive surfaces. Damage may occur.

Always use the Browning Pan to cook baked goods.

Place Browning Pan directly on turntable. Never place Browning Pan on rectangular cooking rack.
