General Defrosting Tips
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.
