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 for 30%. Follow the exact
3-step procedure found under TO SET POWER LEVEL. Estimate
defrosting time and press pad eight times for
30%.
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 microwave 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
microwave oven in 1 minute increments on 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.
