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.

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.
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.
