noise. What is it?
A.
A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the
oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High).
Can I defrost small items in a hurry?
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 in
about 1/2; power level 10 cuts the total defrosting
time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or
stir food frequently.
