The Defrost feature can be used or the microwave oven
can be manually set to defrost by using 20% cook power.
Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before
■
defrosting. Remove any metal twist-ties and replace
them with strings or elastic bands.
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in
■
a suitable container.
Slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging. Slit the skins,
■
if any, of frozen food such as sausage.
Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.
■
Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food
■
is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven
for more defrosting.
The length of defrosting time varies according to how
■
solidly the food is frozen.
Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
■
Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at
■
the end of a cycle for more even defrosting.
Foods left outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes or
■
frozen ready-made food should not be defrosted using the
Custom Defrost feature but should be defrosted manually.
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food
■
such as chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails. See the
"Aluminum Foil and Metal" section first.
