Auto Defrost
With the Auto Defrost mode you can defrost three
different types of food by entering the weight. The ideal
defrost time will be calculated by the program.
The following chart shows the available options and
settings ranges.
Ovenware for defrosting
Place the food in a microwaveable shallow dish, such as
a glass casserole dish or glass plate, but do not cover.
Stand time
The defrosted food should be left to stand for an
additional 10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an even
temperature. Large pieces of meat require a longer
standing time than smaller pieces. Flat pieces of meat
and items made from ground meat should be separated
from each other before leaving to stand.
After this time, you can continue to prepare the food,
even though thick pieces of meat may still be frozen in
the middle.
Tips for defrosting
9 WARNING
HEALTH RISK
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or
poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and
poultry, and under no circumstances, use it for other
purposes, or allow it to come into contact with other
foods.
▯ You always have to enter the weight in lb when using
the Auto Defrost feature (see program table).
▯ Use the defrost mode for raw food items only.
▯ Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed
is a minimum of 0° F (taken directly from a freezer). If
the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that
does not maintain a temperature of 5° F or below,
always program a lower food weight to prevent
cooking the food.
▯ If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to
20 minutes, enter a reduced weight.
▯ The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly
than a deep frozen block of food.
▯ Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated
frozen pieces of food defrost better.
▯ Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of
aluminum foil, if they start to heat up.
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items
like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails.
Do not allow aluminum foil to touch the oven cavity
when defrosting.
