Defrost by Time Guide (Power Level 3)

1. Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might allow

cooking to take place. Always remove outer wrap
and tray. Place food on a microwave-safe rack in a
dish.

2. Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down.

Begin defrosting roasts fat-side-down.

3. The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.

Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly
than a deep block.

4. Auto Defrost is programmed for specific weights.

Defrost results will be affected if you enter an
incorrect weight.

5. Auto Defrost is programmed for frozen food at 0˚ F.

If food is stored at a higher temperature, expect
shorter defrost times.

6. After 1/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the

food. You may wish to turn over, break apart,
rearrange or remove thawed portions of the food.

7. During Auto Defrost, the oven will prompt you to

turn the food over. At this point, open oven door
and check the food. Follow the techniques listed
below for optimum defrost results. Then, close oven
door, touch the START Pad to complete defrosting.

Turn Over : Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey
breasts, hot dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops.

Rearrange : Break apart or separate steaks, chops,
hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or
seafood pieces, chunks of meat such as stew beef.

Shield : Use small strips of aluminum foil to
protect thin areas or edges of unevenly shaped
foods such as chicken wings. To prevent arching,
do not allow foil to come within 1-inch of oven
walls or door.

Remove : To prevent cooking, thawed protions
should be removed from the oven at this point.
This may shorten defrost time for foods weighing
less than 3-lbs.

8. After defrosting, allow food to stand 5 to 10 minutes

if there are any icy areas. If large solid roasts, such
as sirloin tip or rump roasts, are not completely
thawed after standing, return roast to oven and
program Auto Defrost for 1 lb.
