EZ-Choice Defrosting
The EZ-Choice DEFROST feature’s preset programs can be used
or the microwave oven can be manually set to defrost.
■ Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal
results. How foods are stored can affect results.
■ Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before
defrosting.
■ Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
■ Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the
end-of-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 EZ-Choice DEFROST system has preset times and cook
powers for three categories: Meat, Poultry and Fish. It should not
be used for food left outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes,
or for frozen ready-made food.
To defrost manually, use 30% cook power. Refer to a reliable
cookbook for defrosting information.
