Time Defrost (Power Level 3)
Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of
frozen food and is one of the great advantages of a
microwave oven.
Use the Time Defrost setting to quickly thaw foods
such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen
dinners. The Auto Defrost setting is preferred for
meat
and
poultry because the oven sets the defrosting
time and power levels for you.
●
Power Level 3 is automatically set when you
press Time Defrost pad, but you may change this
for more flexibility.
●
See the Defrosting Guide for defrosting help.
