Operating Instructions
Time Features
Allows you to defrost for
the length of time you
select. See the Defrosting
Guide for suggested times.
Power 3 is automatically
set, but you may change
this for more flexibility.
You may defrost small
items more quickly by
raising the power level
after entering the time.
However, they 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.
A dull thumping noise may
be heard during
defrosting. This sound is
normal when the oven is
not operating at High
power.
Defrosting Tips
• Foods frozen in paper or
plastic can be defrosted
in the package. Tightly
closed packages should
be slit, pierced or vented
AFTER food has partially
defrosted. Plastic storage
containers should be at
least partially uncovered.
• Family-size, prepackaged
frozen dinners can be
defrosted and micro-
waved. If the food is in a
foil container, transfer it
to a microwave-safe dish.
• Foods that spoil easily,
such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and
pork, 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 large foods, such as
beef, lamb and veal
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.
