Defrost

Put frozen food in a microwave-safe container without a cover. Turn over during defrosting, and drain off liquid and remove giblets after defrosting. For faster defrosting, cut the food into small pieces, and wrap them with aluminum foil before defrosting. When the outer surface of frozen foods begins to melt, stop defrosting and let stand as instructed in the table below.

Do not change the default power level (180 W) for defrosting.
