DEFROST TIPS
• When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be entered
isthe net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the
weight of the food minus the container).
• Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO
DEFROST gives best results when food to be thawed is
a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a true freezer). If
food has been stored in a refrigerator-fraezer that does
not maintain a temperature of 5°F or below, always
program a lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting
time) to prevent cooking the food.
• If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20
minutes, enter a lower food weight.
• The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a
deep block.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated
pieces defrost more easily.
• You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield
foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the
foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil causes
arcing, which can damage the oven lining.
• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start
to become warm.
• For better results, a preset standing time is included in
the defrosting time.
• For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on a
microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents the
possibility of warm meat juices cooking food during
defrost.
METAL RACK
CAUTION
To avoid risk of property damage:
Do not use rack to pop popcorn.
Rack must be on the four plastic supports
when used.
Use the rack only when cooking food on rack
position.
Do not cook with rack on floor of the oven.
The metal rack gives you extra space when cooking in
more than one container at the same time.
To use rack:
1. Place rack securely in the four plastic supports.
• Rack MUST NOT touch metal walls or back of
microwave oven.
2. Place equal amounts of food both ABOVE AND
BELOW rack.
• Amount of food must be approximately the same to
balance out cooking energy.
