Defrost
The Defrost feature can be used or the microwave oven
can be manually set to defrost by using 20% cook power.
■ Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before
defrosting. Remove any metal twist-ties and replace
them with strings or elastic bands.
■ If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in
a suitable container.
■ Slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging. Slit the skins,
if any, of frozen food such as sausage.
■ Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.
■ Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food
is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven
for more defrosting.
■ The length of defrosting time varies according to how
solidly the food is frozen.
■ Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
■ Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at
the end of a cycle for more even defrosting.
■ Foods left outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes or
frozen ready-made food should not be defrosted using the
Custom Defrost feature but should be defrosted manually.
■ Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food
such as chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails. See the
“Aluminum Foil and Metal” section first.
