TIME DEFROST
Allows you to defrost for the
length of time you select.
See the Defrosting Guide for sug-
gested times. Power 3 is automat-
ically set, but you may change
this for more flexibility. You may
defrost small items more quickly
by raising the power level after
entering the time. However, this
may require more frequent
attention than usual.
Power level 7 cut the total
defrosting time in about half;
power level 10 cuts the total time
to approximately 1/3. Rotate or
stir food frequently.
At one half of selected defrosting
time, the oven signals TURN. At
this time, turn food over and
break apart or rearrange pieces for
more even defrosting. Shield any
warm areas with small pieces of
foil.
A dull thumping noise may be
heard during defrosting . This
sound is normal when the oven is
not operating at High power.
Defrosting Tips
• Foods frozen in paper or plastic
can be defrosted in the package.
Tightly closed packages should be
slit, pierced or vented. AFTER
food has partially been defrosted.
Plastic storage containers should
be at least partially uncovered.
• Family-size, prepackaged frozen
dinners can be defrosted and
microwaved. If the food is in a
foil container, transfer it to a
microwave-safe dish.
• Foods that spoil easily, such
milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry
and pork, should not be allowed
to sit out for more than one hour
after defrosting. Room tempera-
ture promotes the growth of
harmful bacteria.
• For more even defrosting of
large foods, such as beef, lamb
and veal roasts, use Auto Defrost.
• Be sure large meats are com-
pletely defrosted before cooking.
• When defrosted, food should be
cool and softened in all areas. If
still slightly icy, return to the
microwave very briefly , or let it
stand a few minutes.
