Time Adjustment. Touch the POWER LEVEL pad

the weights allowed on the DEFROST CHART, use

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.
