DEFROST TIPS
• When using AUTO DEFROST,
the weight to be entered is the
net weight in pounds and tenths
of pounds (the weight of the food
minus the container).
• Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw
food. AUTO DEFROST gives best
results when food to be thawed is a
minimum of O°F (taken directly from
a true freezer). If food has been
stored in a refrigerator-freezer
that
does not maintain a temperature
of 5°F or below, always program
a lower food weight (for a shorter
defrosting time) to prevent cooking
the food.
• If the food is stored outside the
freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a
lower food weight.
• The shape of the package alters the
defrosting time. Shallow rectangular
packets defrost more quickly than a
deep block.
• Separate pieces as they begin to
defrost. Separated pieces defrost
more easily.
• Shield areas of food with small
pieces of foil if they start to become
warm.
• You can use small pieces of alu-
minum foil to shield foods like
chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails,
but the foil must not touch the side of
the oven. Foil causes arcing, which
can damage the oven lining.
• Let food stand covered for 15 to 30
minutes.
• Let Roasts or Whole poultry stand
for 30 to 60 minutes.
