• 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
aN 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 foit wrapped, remove foil and place it
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 stiN 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.
(For more information on standing time, see the
"Microwave Cooking Tips" section).
• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.
Break apart and remove food as required.
• Use the DEFROST PLATE provided for complete
defrosting.

defrosting of larger food items.Place the
defrost plate on the glass tray with TOP Mark

the defrost plate.
