Defrosting

The Auto Defrost feature’s preset programs can be used or the microwave oven can be manually set to defrost. To defrost manually, use 30% cook power. Refer to a reliable cookbook for defrosting information.

■Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal results. How foods are stored can affect results.

■Unwrap foods and remove lids (for example, from fruit juice containers) before defrosting.

■Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.

■Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the end of the 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.

The Auto Defrost feature has preset times and cook powers for

3 categories: Meat, Poultry and Fish. Auto Defrost should not be used for food that has been left outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes, or for frozen ready-made food. Use the following chart as a guide.

MEAT

NOTE: When covering foods, make sure the vent opening is large enough for the moisture to escape. This will allow the sensor to accurately determine cooking time.

To Use Reheat:

Before using, make sure the microwave oven has been plugged in for at least 3 minutes, the room temperature is not above 95°F (35°C) and the outside of the container and microwave oven cavity are dry.

1.	Place food on the turntable and close the door.
2.	Touch REHEAT until the desired food type is displayed.

Beef: ground, steaks, roast, stew

Lamb: stew and chops

Pork: chops, ribs, roasts, sausage

The narrow or fatty areas of irregular shaped cuts should be shielded with foil before defrosting.

Do not defrost less than 1/4 lb (113 g) or two 4 oz (113 g) patties.

Place all meats in microwavable baking dish. Do not cover.

The microwave oven will start automatically after a brief

delay.

When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and

the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder

tones.
