Defrost
Allows you to defrost for a selected food weight.
1
Press Defrost.
2
Enter food weight.
After 1/2 of the selected defrosting time, the oven signals
to turn the food over. At this time, turn the food over and
break apart or rearrange the pieces for more even
defrosting.
A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting.
This is normal when oven is not operating at 100% power.
Defrosting Tips
I
Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in
the package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced
or vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic
storage containers should be partially uncovered.
I
Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be
defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
I
Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit
out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room
temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
I
When defrosted, food should be cool but softened
in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave
very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.
