DEFROST}NG TIPS
, When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be
entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of
pounds (the weight of the food minus the
container).
• Onty use AUTO DEFROSTfor raw food. AUTO
DEFROST gives best results when food to be
thawed is a minimum of 0_F (taken direct!y from a
_'true" freezer), if food has been stored in e
refrigerator-freezer 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 dehosting
time, Shallow rectangular packets defrost more
quickly than a deep block,
o Separate pieces as they begin to defrost,
Separated pieces defrost more easily,
, You can use smelt pieces of aluminum foii to
shield foods like chicken wings, _eg tips, and fish
tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the
oven, Foil can damage the oven lining.
o 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.
