Defrosting tips
• When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be
entered isthe net weight in pounds and tenths of
pounds (theweight of thefood minus the container).
• Before starting, make sure you have removed any
of the metal twist-tieswhich often come with frozen
food bags, and replacethem with strings or elastic
bands.
• Open containers such as cartons before they are
placed in the oven.
• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
• Iffood is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a
suitable container.
• Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as
sausage.
• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even
defrosting.
• Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted
food isstill icy in the center, returnitto the
microwave oven for more defrosting.
• The length of defrosting time varies according to
howsolidly the food is frozen.
• The shape of the package affects how quickly food
will defrost. Shallow packageswill defrost more
quickly than a deep block.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
Separated pieces defrost moreeasily.
• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts
of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or
areas that start to getwarm. Make sure the foil does
nottouch the sides,top, or bottom of the oven. The
foil can damage the oven lining.
• For better results, let food stand after defrosting.
(For more informationon standing time,see
"Microwave cooking tips" in the "Cooking Guide"
section.)
• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.
Breakapart and remove food as required.
