After defrost cycle ends, cover and let stand
as indicated in chart below.
NOTE:
Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue
thawing. Do not defrost 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.

MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
CompuDefrost Chart or is above or below the limits
in the “Amount” column on the CompuDefrost Chart,
you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ-
ously cooked, by using Power Level 3. See page 9.
Estimate 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 4 minutes per pound.
For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen
spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or sepa-
rate 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.
