MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
SuperDefrost or CompuDefrost Chart or is above or
below the limits in the "Amount" column on the
SuperDefrost or CompuDefrost Charts, you need to de-
frost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ-
ously cooked, by using Power Level 3. See page 9.
Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you
select the power level.
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.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or sepa-
rate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not
defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting
time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on
Power Level 3 until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost
only long enough to remove from the plastic in order
to place in a microwave-safe dish.
MULTIPLE SEQUENCE
COOKING
Your oven can be programmed for up to 4 automatic
cooking sequences, switching from one power level
setting to another automatically.
Sometimes cooking directions tell you to start on one
power level and then change to a different power
level. Your oven can do this automatically.
• Suppose you want to cook roast beef for 5 minutes at
100% and then continue to cook for 30 minutes at 50%.
