DEFROST
DEFROST automatically defrosts all the foods shown
in the DEFROST CHART on page 15.
Round the weight to the nearest half pound. (Ex: if
the steak's actual weight is 2.2 Ib round to 2.0 Ib If the
steak's weight is 2.4 Ib round to 2.5 lb.)
To enter weight, touch the desired Defrost pad for
a 0.5 Ib increase per touch. (Ex: touch four times for
2.0 lb.)
Suppose you want to defrost a 2.0 pound steak.

NOTE:
1. If you attempt to enter more or less than the allowed
weight as indicated in chart on page 15, _ will
appear in the display.
2. The Defrost foods can be programmed with More or
Less Time Adjustment. Touch the POWER LEVEL
pad once or twice after selecting the weight. See
page 16.
3. To defrost other foods or foods above or below
the weights allowed on DEFROST CHART on
page 15 use time and 30% power. See MANUAL
DEFROST on the next column.
4. You may choose to enter the weight in tenths of
pounds. This procedure may be easier with larger
weights, such as 3 pounds, because it requires
fewer touches. To program, touch desired Defrost
pad and enter weight by touching the number pads.
Ex: touch STEAKS/CHOPS then [] and [] for a
weight of three pounds or touch STEAKS/CHOPS
then [] and [] for a weight of 2.2 lb.
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%.
Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under, TO
SET POWER LEVEL on page 9. 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 sepa-
rate 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.
HOT WATER
HOT WATER heats 1 to 6 cups of tap water to prepare
coffee, tea, bouillon and instant soup as well as heat
the water to cook pasta. When preparing individual
cups, place instant coffee, tea or bouillon in cup and stir
before heating. Allow to stand 20 seconds after heating
before stirring and drinking. Stir carefully after removing
from the oven. When heating 6 cups of water, place
in large casserole and cover with lid or plastic wrap.
When oven signals, add pasta and continue cooking
according to package directions. Touch HOT WATER
pad once for each cup up to 6.
Suppose you want to heat 3 cups of water.
