MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the SUPER
DEFROST or AUTO DEFROST Chart or is above or below
the limits in the “Amount” column on the SUPER DEFROST
or AUTO DEFROST Charts (page 16), you need to defrost
manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked,
by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 4-step procedure
found under TO SET POWER LEVEL. Estimate defrosting time
and press
POWER LEVEL
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 at 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.
