Defrosting tips
l When using EASY DEFROST, the weight
to be entered is the net weight (the weight
of the food minus the container). Enter
weight to the nearest l/2 lb.
l Only use EASY DEFROST for raw food.
EASY DEFROST gives best results when
food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F
(taken directly from a “true” freezer). If
food has been stored in a refrigerator-
freezer that does not maintain a tempera-
ture of 0°F or below, always program a
lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting
time) to prevent cooking the food.
l If the food is stored outside the freezer
for up to 20 minutes, enter a lower food
weight.
l If the food is stored outside the freezer
for more than 20 minutes, and for defrost-
ing ready-made food, defrost by time and
power and let stand after defrosting.
l The shape of the package alters the
defrosting time. Shallow rectangular
packets defrost more quickly than a deep
block.
l Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
l You can use small pieces of aluminum
foil to shield foods like chicken wings, leg
tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not
touch the side of the oven. Foil can
damage the oven lining.
l Shield areas of food with small pieces of
foil if they start to become warm.
l For better results, a preset standing
time is included in the defrosting time.
This may make the defrosting time seem
longer than expected. (For more informa-
tion on standing time, see “Cooking tips”
on page 42.)
Cooking with more than one cook cycle
For best results, some recipes call for one
Cook Power for a certain length of time, and
another Cook Power for another length of
time. Your oven can be set to change from
one to another automatically.
1. Put food in oven and close door.
2. Set cooking time for first cycle.
