MaNUal dEFRoST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the SPEED
DEFROST or AUTO DEFROST CHART or is above or below the
limits in the AMOUNT column on the SPEED DEFROST or AUTO
DEFROST CHART, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked,
by using
Power level
for 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure
found under TO SET POWER LEVEL. Estimate defrosting time and
press
Power level
pad eight times for 30%.
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 microwave 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 microwave 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.
