General Defrosting Tips
1. Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might allow
cooking to take place. Always remove outer wrap
and tray. Place food on a microwave-satE rack in a
dish.
2. Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down.
Begin defrosting roasts lht-side-down.
3. The shape of the package alters the defrosting tilne.
Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly
than a deep block.
4. Auto Defrost is proganmled for specific weights.
Defrost results will be affected if you enter an
incorrect weight.
5. Auto Defrost is pro_anmled for frozen tbod at 0 °F.
If food is stored at a higher temperature, expect
shorter defrost times.
6. After 1/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the
food. You may wish to turn over, break apart,
rearrange or remove thawed portions of the/hod.

7. During Auto Defrost, the oven will prompt you to
turn the food over. At this point, open oven door
and check the food. Follow the techniques listed
below tbr optinmln defrost results. Then, close oven
door, touch the START Pad to complete defrosting.
4!,Turn Over : Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey
breasts, hot dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops.
I!, Rearrange : Break apart or separate steaks, chops,
hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or
seafood pieces, chunks of meat such as stew beef.
I!, Shield : Use small strips of aluminum foil to
protect thin areas or edges of unevenly shaped
foods such as chicken wings. To prevent arching,
do not allow foil to come within 1-inch of oven
walls or door.
4!,Remove : To prevent cooking, thawed portions
should be removed from the oven at this point.
This may shorten defrost time tbr tbods weighing
less than 3-1bs.
8. After defrosting, allow tbod to stand 5 to 10 minutes
if there are any icy areas. If large solid roasts, such
as sirloin tip or rump roasts, are not completely
thawed after standing, return roast to oven and
