Allows you to defrost for the length of time you

[] Use the shelf when defrosting items too large to
fit the turntable.
[] A dull thumping noise may be heard during
defrosting. This sound is normal when the oven
is not operating at High power.
[] The turntable cannot be turned off when
defrosting.
[] Once during Time Defrost, the oven signals
Turn Food Over. At the signal, turn the food over.
Remove defrosted meat or shield warm areas
with small pieces of foil.
Defrosting Tips
[] Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted
in the package. Tightly closed packages should
be slit, pierced or vented AFTER food has
partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers
should be at least 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.
t Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be
allowed to sit out for more than one hour after
defrosting. Room temperature promotes the
growth of harmful bacteria.
For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as
beef, lamb and veal roasts,
use Auto Defrost.
M Be sure large meats are completely defrosted
before cooking.
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.
