DEFROSTING TIPS
•When using Auto Defrost,the weight to be entered
is the netweight in pounds and tenths of pounds
(the weight of the food minus the container).
• Before starting, make sure you have removed any
of the metal twist-ties which often come withfrozen
food bags, and replacethem with strings or elastic
bands.
•Open containers such as cartons beforethey are
placed in the oven.
•Always slit or pierce plasticpouchesor packaging.
• If food is foil wrapped, remove foiland place itin a
suitable container.
• Slitthe skins, if any, of frozen food such as
sausage.
• Bend plasticpouchesof food to ensure even
defrosting.
•Always underestimate defrostingtime. If defrosted
food is still icyin the center,return it tothe
microwave ovenfor moredefrosting.
•The length ofdefrosting time varies according to
howsolidly the food is frozen.
•The shape of the package affectshow quicklyfood
will defrost. Shallow packages willdefrost more
quicklythan a deep block.
• Asfood begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
Separated pieces defrost moreeasily.
• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shieldparts
offood such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails,or
areasthat start to getwarm. Make sure thefoil does
nottouch thesides, top, or bottomof the oven.The
foil can damage the oven lining.
• For better results, letfood stand afterdefrosting.
(For more informationon standing time, seethe
"MicrowaveCooking Tips" section.)
• Turn over food dudng defrosting or standing time.
Break apartand remove food as required.
