MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on
the DEFROST CHART or is above or below the
limits in the AMOUNT column on the DEFROST
CHART, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or pre-
viously cooked, by using 30% power level. See
page 9. Estimate defrosting time and press
POWER LEVEL pad 8 times when you select the
power level.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food
the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per
pound. For example, defrost 5 minutes for 2-3 cups
of casserole or 1 pound/450 g 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 defrost-
ing time, program the oven in 1 minute increments
at 30% until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, de-
frost only long enough to remove from the plastic
in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.
