The Defrost setting is designed for uniform
thawing necessary for larger amounts of food.
For small amounts of frozen foods you can

HIGH thaws faster, but you'll need to turn the
food several times, stir it and rearrange it to
keep thawing uniform.
Because DEFROST can be changed from its
automatic power level of 3 to other power lev-
els, you can use DEFROST as the first step of
a two-step automatic microwave setting. (See
