DEFROSTING TIPS HOLD WARM
•When using Auto Defrost,theweight to be entered
is the net weight in poundsand tenths of pounds
(the weight of the food minus the container).
• Before starting, make sure you have removed any
of the metal twist-tieswhich often come with frozen
food bags, and replace them with stringsor elastic
bands.
• Open containers such as cartons before they are
placed in theoven.
• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a
suitable container.
• Slit the skins, if any, offrozen food such as
sausage.
• Bend plastic pouches offood 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 defrostingtime varies accordingto
how solidly thefood isfrozen.
• The shape of the package affects how quickly food
will defrost. Shallow packageswill defrost more
quickly than a deep block.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
• For better results, let food stand after defrosting.
(For more information on standing time, see the
"Microwave Cooking Tips" section.)
• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.
Break apart and remove food as required.
You can safely keep hot, cooked food warm in your
microwave oven for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds
