Tips
1. Do not defrostcovered meat. Covering mightallowcookingto take place. Always
removeouterwrap andtray. Placefoodona microwave-saferackina dish. During
"defrost,juices accumulatein dish and may become hotenough to cookthe food.
Elevating meat off of the dishwill prevent the bottomand side from beginningto
cook.
2. Begindefrostingwhole poultrybreast-side-down. Begindefrostingroastsfat-side-
down.
3. The shapeof the packagealters thedefrostingtime. Shallowrectangularshapes
defrost morequicklythan a deepblock.
4. Defrost By Weight is programmed for specific weights. Defrost results will be
affected if you enter an incorrectweight.
5. DefrostByWeightis programmedfor frozenfood at0°F. Iffoodisstoredatahigher
temperature, expectshorter defrost times.
6. After _/3the defrosttime,check thefood. You maywish to turn over, breakapart,
rearrange or removethawed portions of the food.
7. During defrost (weight ortime), the ovenwill prompt you to turn the food over.
Atthispoint,openovendoorandcheckthe food. Followthetechniqueslistedbelow
for optimumdefrostresults. Then, close ovendoor, touch Start Pad to complete
defrosting.
A) Turn Over Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey breasts, hot dogs, sau-

such as stewbeef.
C) Shield Usesmallstripsofaluminumfoilto protectthinareas,edges
or unevenly shaped foods such as chicken wings. To
preventarcing,donotallowfoilto comewithin1-inchofoven

D) Remove To prevent cooking, thawed portions should be removed
from the ovenat this point. This may shorten defrost time
for foods weighing lessthan 3-1bs.
