You may wish to place the frozen food on a microwave safe plate or d ish before placing it on
the defrost rack (not supplied in this microwave package). This is to ensure that any liquids
during defrosting will not spill and dirty the interior of the microwave.
Large items may be icy in the centre. Therefore, to ensure even t hawing, turn them over
from time to time and break them into smaller pieces during defrost ing. Place roasts fat-side
down or whole poultry breast-side down. Drain liquids during defrost ing as the j uices from
food can get hot and cook the food.
The density and thickness of food can affect its cooking time. Ensure al l food is piping hot
and cooked thoroughly before serving. It is essential that food is checked during and after
cooking.
When removing food from the microwave, please ensure that the microwave has stopped.
Operating the microwave without food in it can result in overheat ing and damage the
magnetron.
