Two or More Plates
Two 10¼" (26 cm) plates may be heated side by side, or 1 dish

best results, halfway through heating, turn the plates (or larger
dish) halfway around, and switch plates between top and bottom
(if heating more than 2 plates). See “Cooking Rack” section.
The turntable must be turned off while heating 2 bottom plates or
1 larger dish. See “Turntable” section.
Defrosting
The automatic Defrost control can be used or the microwave
oven can be manually set to defrost.
■
Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal
results.
■
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 cycle for more even defrosting.
■
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.
