time and 30% power. See Manual defrost.

or less time adjustment. Touch the power
level pad once or twice before touching
START pad.
3. Touch help pad when it is lighted in the display
for a helpful hint.
4. Should you attempt to enter more or less
than the allowed amount, an error beep will
sound.
5. Check foods when oven signals. After final
stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand
to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice
crystals are thawed.
6. Shielding prevents cooking from occurring
before the center of the food is defrosted. Use
small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover
edges and thinner sections of the food.
