Defrost; Manual Cooking - Whirlpool UMH50008 Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Defrost

The defrost feature can be used or the microwave oven can be
manually set to defrost.
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 defrost feature is for meat, poultry and fish only, between 4
and 70oz (100and 2000g). It should not be used for food left
outside the freezer more than 20 minutes and frozen ready-made
food. Use the following chart as a guide.
