If food has been stored in a refrigeratorfreezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5°f or below, always program a lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food. • If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a lower food weight. • The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block. • Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated pieces defrost more easily. • Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm. • You can use small pieces of alu-minum foil to shield foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the oven.

Defrost tips
When using auto defrost, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of
pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).
Use auto defrost only for raw food. Auto defrost gives best results when food to be thawed is
a minimum of 0°f (taken directly from a true freezer). If 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 (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.
If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.
The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more
quickly than a deep block.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated pieces defrost more easily.
Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.
You can use small pieces of alu-minum foil to shield foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish
tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil causes arcing, which can damage the
oven lining.
