Quick Defrost - Jenn-Air M167 Series Use And Care Manual

Quick Defrost
When defrosting frozen foods, a high Power Level setting can be used initially
to break down the ice crystals. But as they begin to melt, it is necessary to reduce
the microwave power to keep the food from starting to cook before defrosting is
complete. This process is done automatically when using the separate Quick
Defrost Pad. It begins defrosting at 80% power, than gradually reduces power
to 60%, 40% and 20%.
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
1. Push Quick Defrost Pad.
2. Enter defrosting time.
3. Push Start/Stop Pad.
NOTE: To defrost meat, poultry, or seafood, refer to the Defrost by Weight
Code on pp.16-17.
Important Defrosting Tips
• Starting temperature, shape of the food, fat content and water content will
affect defrosting time. Therefore, periodically check food during defrost-
ing. To prevent cooking, shield warm areas with foil.
• Remove frozen foods from package and place in a microwave safe dish
to defrost.
• Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the
oven because the edges of the food will begin cooking if microwaves thaw
it completely.
