Defrost
Put frozen food in a microwave-safe container without a cover. Turn over during defrosting,
and drain off liquid and remove giblets after defrosting. For faster defrosting, cut the food
into small pieces, and wrap them with aluminum foil before defrosting. When the outer
surface of frozen foods begins to melt, stop defrosting and let stand as instructed in the table
below.
Do not change the default power level (180 W) for defrosting.
