Time Defrost
The Time Defrost setting is designed for even thawing for large amounts of
food.
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
1. Push the Time Defrost Pad.
2. Enter defrost time.
3. Push the Power Level Pad.*
4. Enter power level.•
5. Push the Start Pad.
Note*: Power Level 3 is automatically set for defrosting, but you may change
this for more flexibility. If you wish to use Power Level 3, skip steps 3
and 4.
As indicated under the Microwave Techniques -- defrosting section, of the
cookbook, microwave defrosting can be done at different power level settings.
However this microwave oven automatically uses the optimum power level to
thaw most frozen foods without starting to cook them.
As illustrated in the Microwave Techniques section of the cookbook defrosting
results vary with different shapes, types and amounts of food, so progress of a
defrost operation should be checked periodically. Suggested defrost times are
given for specific types and amounts of foods along with recipes in several
sections of the cookbook.
Defrosting
Tips
• Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package.
• For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken up or separated part of
the way through the defrosting time.
• Pre-packaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwave cooked. If
dinner is in paper board or plastic container, remove dinner from the box
and turn back one corner of plastic wrap to vent steam. Then, cook dinner
in original containers. For dinners in foil trays less than 3_,,deep, remove
foil cover. Place foil tray in original box and cook for the recommended
time. Keep metal trays at least 1" away from cavity walls.
• Check your Cookbook for other defrosting tips.
• Remove metal clips and/or metal twist ties before defrosting.
