DEFROSTING

DEFROSTING 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).
●
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.
●
Slit the skin of skinned food, such as sausage.
●
Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.
●
Always underestimate 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.

AUTO DEFROST

The auto defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting
method for frozen foods. The cooking guide will show you
which defrost sequence is recommended for the food you are
defrosting.
For added convenience, the auto defrost includes a built-
in beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over,
separate, or rearrange the food in order to get the best defrost
results. Three different defrosting levels are pre-programmed:
1. MEAT
2. POULTRY
3. FISH
Suppose you want to defrost 1.2lb of fish. In standby or timer
mode:

NOTE: During the defrosting process, the oven will beep to
remind you to open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange
the food. Remove any portions that have already thawed.
Return frozen portions to the oven and touch
defrosting.
This following table shows the food type and weights you can
set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering
on food.

Weight conversion table
You are probably used to measuring food in pounds and
ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4 ounces
equals 1/4 pound). However, in order to enter food weight in auto
defrost, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.
If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound,
you can refer to the following table to convert the weight to
decimals.
Remark
NOTE: If between two decimal weights, choose the lower
weight for the best defrosting results.

x 1 Meat
x 2 Poultry
x 3 Fish
For best results, remove fish, shell fish, meat and poultry
from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper).
Otherwise, the wrapper will hold steam and juice close to
the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods
to cook.
For best results, roll the ground meat into a ball before
freezing. During the defrosting cycle, the microwave will
signal when it is time to turn the meat over. Scrape off any
excess frost from the meat and continue defrosting.
Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave
roasting rack to catch drippings.
