MANUAL DEFROSTMANUAL 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 setting the Power Level
to 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure
found under “TO SET POWER LEVEL” on
page14. Estimate the defrosting time and
press
3 for 30% when you select the power
level.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen
food, the rule of thumb is approximately 5
minutes per pound. For example, defrost 5
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 3 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.
