Defrost
The Defrost feature has two functions: dEF1, which is an
automatic defrost by weight, and dEF2, which is a manual
defrost
by time. The default power level is 30%, and cannot
be adjusted.
Unwrap foods and remove lids (for example, from fruit juice
containers) before defrosting.
Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep 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.
The Defrost feature should not be used for food that has been
left
outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes, or for
frozen ready-
made food. Use the following chart as a guide.
