Using the auto defrost features
To thaw frozen foods, enter the weight of the food, and the microwave
automatically sets the defrosting time, power level, and standing time. Press the
Start button to start defrosting.
NOTE
Check the food when you hear the oven signal. After the nal stage, small sections
may still be icy. Let them stand to continue the thawing process. The food is not
defrosted until all ice crystals have thawed.
Shielding roasts and pieces of steak using small pieces of foil prevents the edges
from being cooked before the center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, at,
smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.
To begin, place the frozen food in the center of the turntable and close the door.
