MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on
the DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits
in the AMOUNT column on the DEFROST CHART (see
page 15), you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or
previously cooked, by using power level for 30%. Fol-
low the exact 4-step procedure found under TO SET
POWER LEVEL. Estimate defrosting time and press
POWER LEVEL pad eight times for 30% power.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the
rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound.
For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen
spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or
separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is
not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting
time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on power
level 30% until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer,
defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic
in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.
