Defrosting tips for your Siemens 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.
