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 .
•
Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm .
•
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 .
