Defrost
■ Unwrap foods and remove lids (for example, from fruit juice
containers) 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.
■ 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.
The Defrost feature has preset times and cook powers for
defrosting meat, poultry, and fish by weight. It should not be
used for food that has been left outside the freezer for more than
20 minutes or for frozen ready-made food. Use the following
chart as a guide.
