Amount
Chicken 0.5-3.0 lbs. After each stage, rearrange or remove any
Pieces pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let
stand for 10-20 minutes.
Bread 0.1-2.0 lbs. Arrange rolls in a circle horizontally on kitchen
paper in the middle of turntable.
Turn over after half of defrosting time!
Note
Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small
sections may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do
not defrost until all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and
steaks with small pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking
before the center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat,
smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges and thinner
sections of the food.

Using the microwave setting cooking times &
Power levels
Procedure
Your oven allows you to set up three different stages of cooking, each
with its own time length and power level. The power level lets you
control the heating intensity from Warm (1) to High (10/Power level).
Cooking at high power levels
Example: To cook food for 8 minutes 30 seconds at 100%
power.

When the cook time is over, you will hear four beeps and End will
display.
Cooking at lower power levels
HIGH power cooking does not always give you the best results with
foods that need slower cooking, such as roasts, baked goods, or
custards. Your oven has 9 power settings in addition to HIGH.
Example: To cook food for 7 minutes 30 seconds at 70%
power.
