MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Defrost Guide (See Use and Care Manual page 21) or is
above or below the limits in the “Amount” column on the Defrost Guide, you need to defrost manually. You can
defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using POWER LEVEL at 30%. Follow the 3-step proce-
dure for the “To Set Power Level,” on page 3-4. Estimate defrosting time and press POWER LEVEL pad eight times
for 30% power. For either raw or previously cooked then frozen food, the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes
per pound (.45kg). For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound (.45kg) of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the
end of estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on POWER LEVEL 30% until totally
defrosted.
When using plastic containers from freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a
microwave safe dish.
