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 10.
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 approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example,
defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
