frozen
food
without

preset
in

NOTES:

For
added
convenience,

DEFROST
has
a
built-in
reminder
tone
to
tell
you
when
to
check,
turn
over,
separate,
or
rearrange
food.
The
oven
will
sound
a
tone
during
the
defrost
cycle.
At
each
tone,
open
the
door
and
turn,
separate,
or
rearrange
food.
Remove
any
portions
that
have
thawed.

You
can
defrost
foods
that
weigh
0.1
to
6.0
lbs
(0.1-4.0
kgs).
For
best
results:
?
Remove
fish,
shellfish,
meat,
and
poultry
from
its
original
closed
paper
or
plastic
package
(wrapper).
Otherwise,
the
wrap
will
hold
steam
and
juice
close
to
the
foods,
which
can
cause
the
outer
surface
of
the
foods
to
cook.
?
Shape
ground
meat
into
the
form
of
a
doughnut
before
freezing.
When
defrosting,
remove
thawed
meat
when
the
reminder
tone
sounds and
continue
defrosting.
?
Place
foods
in
a
shallow
container
or
on
a
microwave
roasting
rack
to
catch
drippings.
?
Food
should
still
be
somewhat
icy
in
the
center
when
removed
from
the
oven.
