Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed
is a minimum of 0° F (taken directly from a freezer). If
the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that
does not maintain a temperature of 5° F or below,
always program a lower food weight to prevent
cooking the food.

If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to
20 minutes, enter a reduced weight.

Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly
than a deep frozen block of food.

frozen pieces of food defrost better.

Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of
