cover edges and thinner sections of the
food.

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed
on the
Defrost Guide
or is above or below the
limits in the “Amount” column on the
Defrost
Guide
, you need to defrost manually.
Y
ou can defrost any frozen food, either raw or
previously cooked, by using POWER LEVEL at
30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found
under “To Set Power Level” on page 14.
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 (.45 kg). For example,
defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound (.45 kg) 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 esti-
mated 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.
