The Auto Weight Defrost feature gives you automatic setting and control of defrosting, but just like conventional defrosting you must check the foods during the defrosting time.
For best resutts, remove fish, shellfish, meat and poultry from its original paper or plastic closed package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
. When it is difficult to remove the wrap from the foods, defrost the wrapped food for stage 1 of the defrost time. At the tone, remove the wrap.

Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.
