Defrost

■ For optimal results, food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder when

defrosting.

■ 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 the 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

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 ﬁ sh tails. See the “Aluminum

Foil and Metal” section ﬁ rst.

■ Times and cooking powers have been preset for defrosting a

number of food types.
