DEFROSTING BY TIME

Time Defrost (Power Level 3)

Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of
frozen food and is one of the great advantages of 
a microwave oven.

Use the Time Defrost setting to quickly thaw foods
such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen
dinners. The Auto Defrost setting is preferred for
meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting
time and power levels for you.

• Power level 3 is automatically set when you 

press TIME DEFROST pad, but you may change
this for more flexibility.

• See the Defrosting Guide for defrosting help.

To become better acquainted with the defrost
function, defrost a 10 oz. package of frozen
strawberries by following the steps below.

Step 1: Place a package of frozen strawberries in 
the oven and close door. Be sure package contains 
no metal.

Step 2: Touch TIME DEFROST.

Step 3: Select one half of the total defrosting time
recommended. For example, touch pads 4, 0 and 0 
for 4 minutes. 

Step 4: Touch START. When the cycle is
completed, the oven signals and flashes
“End,” then automatically shuts off.

Step 5: Turn the package over, close the door and
repeat Steps 2 and 3 to set remaining half of
defrosting time. Touch START.

Step 6: When the oven signals and flashes “End,”
open the door, remove the package and separate
strawberries to finish defrosting.

Defrosting Tips

• Foods frozen in paper or

plastic can be defrosted in
the package. Tightly closed
packages should be slit,
pierced or vented, AFTER
food has partially defrosted,
as directed by package.
Plastic storage containers
should be at least partially
uncovered.

• Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be

defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

• For even defrosting, some

foods need to be broken up
or separated part of the way
through the defrosting time.

• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,

stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to
sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room
temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

• Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.

Questions and Answers

Q. When I press START, I hear a dull thumping

noise. What is it?

A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the

magnetron is in operation.

Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?

A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention

than usual. Raise the power level after entering 
the time by touching the desired power level pad.
Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in
about 1/2; power level 10 cuts the total defrosting
time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or
stir food frequently.
