DEFROSTING TIPS
• When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered is the
net weight (the weight of the food minus the container).
• Before starting, make sure to remove any and all metal
twist-ties that often come with frozen food bags, and
replace them with strings or elastic bands.
• Open containers, such as cartons, before placing in the
oven.
• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place food in a
suitable container.
• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.
• Slit the skin of skinned food, such as sausage.
• Always under estimate defrosting time� If defrosted food
is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for
more defrosting�
• The length of defrosting time varies according to how
solidly the food is frozen�
• The shape of the package affects how quickly food will
defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than
a deep block.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces. Separated
pieces defrost more easily.
• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food
such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start
to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides,
top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven
lining�
• For better results, let food stand after defrosting.
• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time. Break
apart and remove food as required.
