Defrosting

The automatic Defrost control can be used or the microwave oven can be manually set to defrost.

Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal 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-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” first.
