MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on
the MICRO DEFROST CHART or is above or below
the limits in the “Amount” column on the MICRO
DEFROST CHART below, you need to defrost
manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or
previously cooked, by using Power Level 30%.
Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under
MICROWAVE on page 28.
Estimate defrosting time and select 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 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.
