ABOUT THE FEATURES
Time Defrost

Defrosting Guide on page 11 for suggested times (Weight

At one half of selected defrosting time, turn food over and break
apart or rearrange pieces for more even defrosting. Shield any
warm areas with small pieces of foil. The oven will continue to
defrost if you don't open the door and turn the food.

Defrosting Tips
• Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the
package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented
AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers
should be partially uncovered.
• 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.
• Foods that spoil easily 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 roasts, use
Time Defrost. 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.
