Time Defrost (Power Level 3)
Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of
frozen food and is one of the great advantages of
a microwave oven.
Use the Time Defrost setting to quickly thaw foods
such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen
dinners. The Auto Defrost setting is preferred for
meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting
time and power levels for you.
●
Power level 3 is automatically set when you press
the TIME DEFROST pad, but you may change this
for more flexibility.
●
See the Defrosting Guide for defrosting help.
How to Change Power Level
1. Press TIME DEFROST.
2. Select defrosting time.

Defrosting Tips
●
Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted
in the package. Tightly closed packages should be
slit, pierced or vented,
food has partially
defrosted, as directed by package. Plastic storage
containers should be at least partially uncovered.
●
Family-size, pre-packaged frozen dinners can be
defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
●
For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken
up or separated part of the way through the
defrosting time.
●
Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.
●
Foods that spoil easily, such as milk,
fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed
to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting.
Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful
bacteria.
