Defrosting
The JET DEFROST™ feature 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.
■ 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.
