FOR BEST RESULTS
• Defrost times are for thoroughly frozen foods
that have been in the freezer for at least 24
hours and maintained at temperatures of
0°F/–18°C or lower.
• When freezing meats, poultry and fish,
use good quality plastic wrap, bags and
containers.
• To separate meat, such as chicken pieces or
steak, place wax paper or plastic film between
each layer.
• Ensure that all air has been removed and
packaging has been sealed securely.
• Label the packs with type and cut of meat,
date and weight.
• After the defrost cycle, most foods will still
be somewhat icy in the center when removed
from the microwave. Stand food for 5–15
minutes until completely thawed.
• Position foods in a single layer with thinner
parts in the center and thicker ends around
the outside of the turntable.

For chicken pieces, position chicken pieces in
a single layer in a microwave-safe dish, plate
or container. Arrange thicker ends around the
outside of the plate/container. Shield thinner
pieces such as wings with foil to prevent
