Cooking Instructions
Auto Defrosting Guide
• Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.
Notes
Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections may
still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice
crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small pieces of foil
prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the food has defrosted.
Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges and
thinner sections of the food.
