2-4 Plates
Two 10¼ in. (26 cm) plates may be heated side by side, or one
dish larger than the turntable, plus 2 plates on the cooking rack.
For 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 should be turned off while heating 2 bottom plates
or one larger dish. See “Turntable” section.
Defrosting
The Auto Defrost feature 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.
The Auto Defrost system has 3 categories: Meat, Poultry and
Fish. It should not be used for food left outside the freezer more
than 20 minutes and frozen ready-made food.
