Defrost
The Defrost feature can be used, or the microwave oven can be 
manually set to defrost by using 30% cook power.
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 
Custom 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 “Aluminum Foil 
and Metal” first.
Times and cooking powers have been preprogrammed for 
defrosting a number of food types. For each food category a 
precise amount of food can be entered or preprogrammed 
quantities can be selected. 
Manual Defrost requires that a cook time and power level be 
entered if using other than 30% cook power.
