DEFROSTING TIPS
• When using DEFROST, the weight to be entered
is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds
(the weight of the food minus the container.)
• U_ DEFROST only for raw food. 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.
° The shape of the package alters the defrosting
time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more
quickly than a deep block
• Separate pi_es
as they begin to defrost.
Separated pieces defrost more easily,
• You can use small pi_ee
of aluminum foil to
shield foods Hke chicken wings, but the foil must
not touch the side of the oven. Foil causes arcing,
which can damage the oven Hning.
• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if
they start to become warm.
• For better r_ults,
a preset standing time is
included in the defrosting time_
