Rapid Defrost; Auto Cook - Amana AMV6177AA Use & Care Manual

Operation
For best results:
• Leave fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry in its original
closed paper or plastic package (wrapper).
• Form the meat into the shape of a doughnut before
freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat
when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
• Place foods on the rack and use the metal tray/drip
pan to catch drippings.
• Foods should still be somewhat icy in the center
when removed from the oven.
• Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and
wings.
• The shape of the food alters the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly
than than a deep block.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated
pieces defrost more easily.
• Overlap thinner areas such as fish tails and chicken
breasts for more even defrosting.
• Turn foods around and over when prompted by the
control.
