EZ-Choice DEFROST will prompt you to enter a

weight. You then have 1 minute to enter a weight

and to touch START/ENTER. If you do not do so,

•See the “EZ-Choice defrost chart” later in this

section for defrosting directions for each food.

•To defrost items not listed in the “EZ-Choice

defrost chart,” use 30% cook power. Refer to

a reliable cookbook for defrosting information.

For even, complete defrosting

•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 evenly.

•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.

This chart shows you how to choose a type of food and the weights you can set for each type.

	TOUCH	TOUCH	WEIGHTS YOU CAN SET
FOOD	DEFROST†	OR NUMBER PAD	(tenths of a pound)
Meats	once	1	.1 to 6.6 (45 g to 2994 g)

Fish	3 times	3	.1 to 4.4 (45 g to 1998 g)
