Defrost

■ For optimal results, food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder when
defrosting.
■ Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before
defrosting.
■ Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
■ Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the end
of the cycle for more even defrosting.
■ Foods left outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes or
frozen ready-made food should not be defrosted using the
Defrost feature but should be defrosted manually.
■ Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such
as chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails. See the "Aluminum
Foil and Metal" section first.
■ Times and cooking powers have been preset for defrosting a
number of food types.
