The Auto Defrost feature can be used or the microwave oven can
be manually set to defrost.
• Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal
results.
• Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before
defrosting.
• Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
• Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the
end of cycle for more even defrosting.
• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such
as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See "Aluminum Foil
and Metal" first.
