Questions
and Answers
Q. Can I Defrost small items in a
hurry?
A. Yes, but they will need more
frequent attention than usual. Raise
the Power Level after entering the
time. Power Level MED cuts the
time in 1/2; Power Level HIGH cuts
the time to 1/3.
Q. When I press START or close
door, I hear a dull thumping noise.
What is it?
A. This sound is normal. It is let-
ting you know the oven is using a
Power Level lower than HIGH.
Q. Can I open the door during
defrosting to check on the pro-
gress of my food?
A. Yes. You may open the door at
any time during microwaving. To
resume defrosting, close the door
and press START.
Q. Why don't the defrosting times
in the Cookbook seem right for my
food?
A. Cookbook times are average.
Defrosting time can vary according
to the temperature in your freezer.
Set your oven for the time indi-
cated in your Cookbook. If your
food is still not completely thawed
at the end of that time, re-set your
oven and adjust the time ac-
cordingly.
