Time Defrost (Do not use the shelves when
microwave cooking.)
Use Time Defrost to defrost for a selected
length of time.
Press the DEFROST button three times.
Turn the dial to select the time you
want. Press the dial to enter.
Press the START/PAUSE button to start
defrosting.
Turn the food over if the oven signals
TURN FOOD OVER.
You may change the defrost time at any
time during defrosting by turning the dial.
Power level is automatically set at 3, but can
be changed. You can defrost small items
quickly by raising the power level after
entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the
total defrosting time in about half; power
level 10 cuts the total time to approximately
1/3. However, food will need more
frequent attention than usual.
A dull thumping noise may be heard
during defrosting. This is normal when
oven is not operating at High power.
Defrosting Tips
■
Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be
defrosted in the package. Closed packages
should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER
food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage
containers should be 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 should not be
allowed to sit out for more than one hour
after defrosting. Room temperature
promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
■For more even defrosting of larger foods,
such as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure
large meats are completely defrosted
before cooking.
■When defrosted, food should be cool
but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy,
return to the microwave very briefly, or
let it stand a few minutes.
