Time Defrost is designed for
speedy thawing of frozen food
and is one of the great advantages
of a microwave oven.
Use Time Defrost to quickly
thaw foods such as bread, rolls,
vegetables, fruits and frozen
dinners. Auto Defrost is preferred
for meat and poultry because the
oven sets the defrosting time and
power levels for you.
●
Power level 3 is automatically set
for defrosting, but you may change
this for more flexibility.
● See the defrosting guide for
defrosting help.
To become better acquainted with
the Time Defrost function, defrost a
1O-OZ. package of frozen strawberries
by following the steps below.

Questions and Answers
Q. When I press
ST~T,
I hear
a dull thumping noise. What is it?
A. This sound is normal. It is
letting you know the oven is using a
power level lower than 10 (High).
Q. Can I defrost small items in
a hurry?
A. Yes, but they will need more
frequent attention
than usual. Raise
the power level after entering the
time by touching the desired power
level pad. Power level 7 cuts the
total defrosting time about in 1/2;
power level 10 cuts the
toti
defrosting
time to approximately 1/3. During
either, rotate or stir food
frequendy.

don’t
the defrosting
times in the defrosting guide seem
right for my food?
A. These times are averages.
Defrosting time can vary according
to the temperature in your freezer.
Set your oven for the time indicated
in the defrosting guide. If your food
is still not completely thawed at the
end of
tiat
time, reset your oven
and adjust the time accordingly.
Q. Should all foods be
completely thawed before
cooking?
A. Some foods should not be
completely thawed before cooking.
For example, fish cooks so
quic~y
it is better to begin cooking while it
is still slightly frozen.
Q. Can
Iopen
the door during
Time Defrost to check on the
progress of my food?
A. Yes.
You may open the door at
any time during microwaving. To

operating if time is left on timer.
