MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Defrost
Chart or is above or below the limits in the amount column on
the Defrost Chart, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked,
by using Power Level at 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure
found under To Set Power Level on page 10. Estimate defrosting
time and Touch Power Level pad eight times for 30% power.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb
is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4
minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
