Upper Oven Operations Built-in DM Oven Care and Use Manual Defrosting Tips and Recommendations • Defrost uncooked meat, fish and poultry using the DEFROST mode. • Defrost mode is programmed using 30% microwave power. • No thermal heat is used during DEFROST mode. • The convection fan also runs during the DEFROST mode to help speed up defrosting. • Center items on rack level 3 when defrosting. • Remove store wrap and place in a shallow microwaveable container to catch juices. • Use the chart below as a guide for determining defrosting time. • When calculating defrosting time, allow 4 to 5 minutes per pound. • Oven will pause automatically for rotating or turning food. • Add more time in one minute increments until food is defrosted. • Allow meat to stand covered after removing from oven to complete defrosting. • Casseroles, sauced foods, vegetables and soups should be defrosted using HI (100%) microwave power level. Stir once or twice during defrosting to redistribute heat. FOOD ITEMS PROCEDURE Bacon 1 lb. Beef: Ground 1 lb. Steaks 1 to 4 steaks Fish: Fillets/Steaks 1 lb. 2 lbs. 3 lbs.
