Defrosting
Defrosting time and cooking power have been preset based on
food and quantity.
Because standing time is included, the defrosting time may seem
longer than in other microwave ovens.
• Preset codes should not be used for food left outside the
freezer more than 20 minutes and frozen ready-made food.
• 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 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.
When entering weight, use the net weight (food minus
container weight) in pounds and tenths of pounds.
WEIGHT CONVERSION CHART
If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound
(ounces), use the following chart to convert the weight to
decimals.
