Defrost should not be used for food left out of the freezer for

■ Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at the time the cycle is
started 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 thick 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.
