NOTES:
•
If you do not enter a weight within 2 seconds,
EZ-Choice DEFROST will prompt you to enter a
weight. You then have 1 minute to enter a weight
and to touch START/ENTER. If you do not do so,
EZ-Choice DEFROST will be canceled.
•
If you enter a weight higher than the highest
weight allowed for your food setting, 3 tones will
sound and "RETRY" will appear on the display
when you touch START/ENTER.
•
If you touch DEFROST 4 times, the display returns
to the Meats setting.
•
If you need more or less defrosting time, do not
touch DEFROST again. Touch COOK POWER
before you touch START/ENTER. (See "Changing
preset cooking times" in the "Getting to Know"
section.)
•
See the "EZ-Choice defrost chart" later in this
section for defrosting directions for each food.
•
To defrost items not listed in the "EZ-Choice
defrost chart," use 30% cook power. Refer to
a reliable cookbook for defrosting information.
For even, complete defrosting
•
The shape of the package affects how
quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages
will defrost more quickly than a deep block.
•
As food begins to defrost, separate the
pieces. Separated pieces defrost more
evenly.
•
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield
parts of food such as chicken wings, leg
tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get
warm. Make sure the foil does not touch
the sides, top, or bottom of the oven.
