Defrost Tips
When using
Auto Defrost
, the weight to
be entered is the net weight in pounds and
tenths of pounds (the weight of the food
minus the container).
Use
Auto Defrost
only for raw food.
Auto
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 temperature of 5°F
or below, always program a lower food
weight (for a shorter defrosting time)
to prevent cooking the food.
If the food is stored outside the freezer
for up to 20 minutes, enter a lower food
weight.
The shape of the package alters the
defrosting time. Shallow rectangular
packets defrost more quickly than
a deep block.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
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 causes arcing,
which can damage the oven lining.
Shield areas of food with small pieces
of foil if they start to become warm.
For better results, a preset standing time
is included in the defrosting time.
For best results, elevate food to be
defrosted on a microwave-safe roasting
rack. This prevents the possibility of warm
meat juices cooking food during defrost.
A DEFROST PLATE
is provided for
complete defrosting of larger food items.
Place the defrost plate on the glass tray
plastic side down. Place the item to be
defrosted directly on the defrost plate.
Metal Rack
CAUTION:
To avoid risk of property damage:
Do not use rack to pop popcorn.
Rack must be on the four plastic supports
when used.
Use the rack only when cooking food
on rack position.
Do not cook with rack on floor of the oven.
The metal rack gives you extra space
when cooking in more than one container
at the same time.
To use rack:
Place the rack securely in the four plastic
supports.
The rack
MUST NOT
touch metal walls
or the back of the microwave oven.
Place equal amounts of food both
ABOVE AND BELOW
the rack.
The amount of food must be
approximately the same to balance out
cooking energy.
