Defrosting
tips
Use DEFROST BY FOOD TYPE for meat,
poultry, fish, and bread. Use DEFROST
BY TIME for most other frozen foods.
„ Foods frozen in paper or plastic
can be defrosted in the package
when using DEFROST BY TIME. Meats
should be taken out of the package
when using DEFROST BY FOOD
TYPE. Closed packages should be
slit, pierced or vented after food has
partially defrosted. Plastic storage
containers should be partially
uncovered.
„ Family-size, prepackaged frozen
dinners can be defrosted and
microwaved. If the food is in a
foil container, transfer it to a
microwave-safe dish.
„ Foods that spoil easily should not
be allowed to sit out for more than
one hour after defrosting. Room
temperature promotes the growth
of harmful bacteria.
„ When defrosted, food should be
cool but softened in all areas. If still
slightly icy, return to the microwave
very briefly, or let it stand a few
minutes.
„ When defrosting 3 or more pounds
of ground or cubed meat, remove
defrosted portions at the turn
signals.
Use DEFROST BY TIME to defrost for a
selected length of time.

2. Turn the selector dial to DEFROST.
Press the dial to enter.
3. Turn the dial to DEFROST BY TIME.

Power level is automatically set at 3,
but can be changed. To change the
power levels, see Microwave power
levels for instructions.
You can defrost small items quickly by
raising the power level after entering
the time. Power level 7 cuts the total
defrosting time in about half; power
level 10 cuts the total time to about
1/3. When defrosting at high power
levels, food will need more frequent
attention than usual and may have
some cooking.
