touch CUSTOM DEFROST again. Touch COOK |
POWER before you touch START. (See “Changing |
preset cooking times” in the “Using Your Microwave |
Oven” section.) |
• See the “Custom defrost chart” later in this section |
for defrosting directions for each food. |
• To defrost items not listed in the “Custom 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.
