oven can be manually set to defrost.

Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal

results.

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
