MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the
AMOUNT column on the DEFROST CHART, you need to
defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power Level at 30%. Follow the exact
3-step procedure found under TO SET POWER LEVEL on
page 8. Estimate defrosting time and press POWER LEVEL
pad eight times for 30% power.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of
thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example,
defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate
the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at
the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven
in 1 minute increments on Power Level 30% until totally
defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only
long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in
a microwave-safe dish.
NOTE:
• Defrost can be programmed with More or Less Time
Adjustment. See page 13.
• T
o defrost other foods or foods above or below the
weights allowed on the DEFROST CHART, see MANUAL
DEFROST below.
• Do not defrost until all ice crystals are thawed.
• C
heck foods when oven signals. After nal stage, small
sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing.
• Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the
center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth strips
of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of
the food.
