Question:.
and Answers
Q. M'hy don't the defrosting time:,
in the Cookbook seem right for
my food?
A. Cookbook
times are average,
and defrosting time required can
vary according to the temperature
in your freezer. Set your oven for
the time given in the Cookbook.
If
your food is not completely thawed
at the end of that time, reset the
oven and adjust the time for addi-
tional defrosting.
Q. Can 1 open the door during the
Defrost cycle?
A. Yes. You may open the door at
any time during microwaving.
To
resume defrosting, just close the
door and touch START again. You
may also touch CLEAR/ OFF Pad
once which only stops oven to check
on food. If you touch CLEAR/
OFF twice or open the door and
touch CLEAR/ OFF it cancels out
program. (See page 6 for further
explanation.)
Q. When I defrosted hamburger
patties, the edges were already
cooked. Why is this?
A. The density and size of the food
makes a difference when defrosting.
Try using the minimum recom-
mended defrost time first. Most
meat patties must be rotated during
total defrosting time.
