About the time features.
Time Defrost
Allows you to defrost for a selected length of time. See
the Defrosting Guide for suggested times. (Auto Defrost
explained in the About the auto feature section.)
Press DEFROST AUTO/TIME twice.
Enter defrosting time.
Press START.
Turn food over when the oven signals.
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.
At one half of selected defrosting time, the oven signals
TURN. At this time, turn food over and break apart or
rearrange pieces for more even defrosting. Shield any
warm areas with small pieces of foil. The oven will
continue to defrost if you don’t open the door and
turn the food.
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.
