Time Defrost
Allows you to defrost for a selected length
of time.
Press
TIME DEFROST.
Enter defrosting time.
Press
START.
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.
