Two or More Plates
Two 101/4-in. (26 cm) plates may be heated side by side, or one
dish larger than the turntable, plus 2 plates on the cooking rack.
For best results, halfway through heating, turn the plates (or
larger dish) halfway around, and switch plates between top and
bottom (if heating more than 2 plates). See "Cooking Rack"
section.
The turntable must be turned off while heating 2 bottom plates or
one larger dish. See "Turntable" section.
The automatic Defrost control can be used or the microwave
oven can be manually set to defrost.
• Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal
results.
Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before
defrosting.
Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the
end of 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 "Aluminum Foil
and Metal" first.
