Defrost
The defrost feature has two functions: “dEF1” is the automatic defrost by weight, and
“dEF2” is the manual defrost by time. The default power level for the manual defrost by
time feature is 30%, but it can be adjusted.
1. Unwrap the food and remove any lids (e.g., fruit juice containers) before defrosting.
2. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than thicker ones.
3. Separate the food pieces as soon as possible during the cycle, or at the end of the
cycle, for a more even defrosting of the food.
4. Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food, such as chicken wings,
leg tips, or fi sh tails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section on page 16 before
using.
The defrost feature should not be used for foods that have been left outside the freezer
for more than 20 minutes, or with frozen, ready-made foods. Use the following chart as a
general guideline:
MEAT
Beef: ground, steaks, roast, stew
Lamb: stew and chops
Pork: chops, ribs, roasts, sausage
The narrow or fatty areas of irregular shaped meat cuts
should be shielded with foil before defrosting. DO NOT defrost
less than 1/4 lb (113 g) of meat or two 4 oz (113 g) patties.
Place all meats in a microwave-safe baking dish. DO NOT
cover the baking dish.
