Use the JET DEFROST function of your WHIRLPOOL MBNA990B microwave for quick and effective defrosting. Place your frozen food directly on the glass turntable, without a container. Press the JET DEFROST button, then use the + or - keys to set the exact weight of the food to be defrosted. The microwave will automatically adjust the time and power (160 W) based on the entered weight, ensuring a gradual and even defrosting.
During the process, the function briefly pauses to allow you to turn the food or separate pieces. Follow the on-screen instructions to turn the food halfway through. This pause is important to ensure even defrosting and to prevent some parts from starting to cook. Once you have finished the settings, close the door and press the START button to begin the function.
After defrosting, let the food rest for a few minutes. This resting period significantly improves the final result and allows for a more even distribution of temperature. This is particularly useful for large cuts of meat or sizable portions.
For food safety, cook immediately after defrosting to avoid bacterial proliferation. If you prefer an even slower and safer defrosting, use the refrigerator by placing the frozen food in a dish several hours before cooking. You can also submerge the food, tightly wrapped, in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes.
