Time Defrost (Power Level 3)
Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of
frozen food and is one of the great advantages of
a microwave oven.
Use the Time Defrost setting to quickly thaw foods
such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen
dinners. The Auto Defrost setting is preferred for
meat and poultry because the oven sets the
defrosting time and power levels for you.
Power level 3 is automatically set when you press
the TIME DEFROST pad, but you may change this
for more flexibility.
See the Defrosting Guide for defrosting help.
How to Change Power Level
1. Press TIME DEFROST.
2. Select defrosting time.
3. Press POWER LEVEL.
4. Select power.
5. Press START.
