HEALTH RISK
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or 

poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and 

poultry, and under no circumstances, use it for other 

purposes, or allow it to come into contact with other 

foods.

▯

Always enter the weight in lbs when using the defrost 

by weight feature (see program table).

▯

Use the defrost mode for raw food items only.

▯

Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed 

is a minimum of 0° F (taken directly from a freezer). If 

the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that 

does not maintain a temperature of 5° F or below, 

always program a lower food weight or lower cook 

time to prevent cooking the food.

▯

If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 

20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.

▯

The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time. 

Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly 

than a deep frozen block of food.

▯

Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated 

frozen pieces of food defrost better.

▯

Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of 

aluminum foil, if they start to heat up. 
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items 

like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails.
Do not allow aluminum foil to touch the oven cavity 

when defrosting.
