which is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk
and long slow cooking of meats. Consult cookbook or

MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on
the DEFROST CENTER CHART or is above or below
the limits in the “Amount” column on the DEFROST
CENTER CHART (see page 28), 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 4-step procedure found under To
Set Power Level. Estimate defrosting time and press
POWER LEVEL pad 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 sepa-
rate 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 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.

Suppose you want to defrost for 5 minutes at 30%.
