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, you need to defrost manually.
You 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
11. Estimate defrosting time and Touch 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.

20 minutes.

NOTE:
• Defrost can be programmed with More or Less Time
Adjustment. See page 17.
• To defrost other foods or foods above or below the weights
allowed on the Defrost Chart, see Manual Defrost below.
• Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small
sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do
not cook until all ice crystals are thawed.
• Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the
center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth strips
of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of
the food.
PROCEDURE
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.
