The defrost feature provides you with the best
defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking

recommended for the food you are defrosting.

in beep alert that reminds you to check, turn over,
separate, or rearrange to get the best defrost results.

Operating Tips
•
Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from
its original wrapping paper or plastic package.
Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close
to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of
the foods to cook.
•
Place foods in a shallow container or in a
microwave roasting dish to catch the drippings.
•
Food should still be somewhat icy in the center
when removed from the oven.
•
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.
•
Depending on the shape of the food can be
defrosted more or less.
•
For best results, shape the ground meat into
the form of a doughnut before freezing. When
defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep
sounds and continue defrosting.
