Defrosting tips for your Kenmore countertop microwave

• Make sure that you remove any metal such as twist ties from the item before starting the microwave.
• Leave the container lid open. Slit or pierce plastic packaging. Slit the skins of foods such as sausages.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces of food so items defrost more easily.
• Turn food over halfway through the defrost process to evenly defrost items top to bottom.
• Let food stand for several minutes after defrosting.
