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 previously cooked, by using
Power Level at 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under TO SET
POWER LEVEL on page 16. Estimate defrosting time and Touch Power Level
pad eight times for 30% power.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approxi-
mately 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 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.
