around, and switch plates between top and bottom (if heating
more than 2 plates). See "Cooking Rack" section.
The turntable must be turned off while heating 2 bottom plates or
1 larger dish. See "Turntable" section.

Defrosting

The Auto Defrost feature can be used or the microwave oven can
be manually set to defrost.
Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal
results.
Unwrap foods and remove lids (for example, from fruit juice
containers) before defrosting.
Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the
end of cycle for more even defrosting.
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such
as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See "Aluminum Foil
and Metal" first.
The Auto Defrost system has 3 categories: Meat, Poultry and
Fish. It should not be used for food left outside the freezer more
than 20 minutes and frozen ready-made food.
