Defrosting and Recommendations

Defrost uncooked meat, fish and poultry using the DEFROST mode.

Defrost mode is programmed using 30% microwavepower.

No thermal heat is used during DEFROST mode.

The convection fan also runs during the DEFROST mode to help speed up defrosting.

Center items on rack level 3when defrosting.

Remove store wrap and place in a shallow microwaveable container to catch juices.

Use the chart below as aguide for determining defrosting time.

When calculating defrosting time, al!ow4 to 5 minutes per pound.

Oven will pause automatically for rotating or turning food.

Add more time in one minute increments until food is defrosted.

Allow meat to stand covered after removing from oven to complete defrosting.

Casseroles, sauced foods, vegetables and soupsshould be defrosted using HI (100%) microwavepower level. Stir once or twice during defrosting to redistribute heat.
