The best defrosting lime and power levels are automatically determined depending on
the food weight you enter. The feature provides two options;
FINE DEFROST: Use for thorough defrosting of frozen foods, when it is important to
have the center section defrosted as well as the outside. Examples for recommended use
are: whole chicken, roasts and steak.
QUICK DEFROST: Use to assist separation of frozen pieces of chicken or fish that need
preparation prior to cooking. Also, this defrost option is excellent for thawing items such

Defrosting Techniques:
° Remove food from wrapper to prevent holding steam and juice and place in a
microwave-safe baking dish ora roasting rack to catch drippings.
» Cover thin parts with aluminum foil to prevent overdefrosting.
» Because some foods will still be icy In the center, it is necessary to have a standing
time after defrosting the food in the oven. Food should be taken out of the oven to
complete defrosting. A longer standing time might be required for denser foods such
as roasts.
