AUTO DEFROST
Prepare the food for defrosting.
• Place the food in a flat, shallow baking dish or use a microwave masting rack in the dish to catch drippings.
• Pierce meats with a casing, such as hot dogs and sausage, to allow steam to escape.
• Cover fatty or thin areas of meat with a small amount of foil before defrosting to prevent them from cooking.
During the defrosting cycle, remember :
• Check the food. If iterns often cook at the edges when defrosting, reduce the weight you set.
• Be sure to turn, stir or rotate the food as directed.
After defrosting,
remember :
• Be sure all areas of the food item are totally defrosted.
• Pierce dense roasts with a skewer to check whether defrosting is complete.
• Rince poultry and seafood in cold water.
• Remove the giblets from poultry and rinse ice crystals out of the cavity.
• Food should still be some what icy in the center when you remove it from the oven,
NOTE : Do not confuse Power Level 3, used to thaw or reheat convenient foods or small bread items,
