MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the SUPER 
DEFROST  or  AUTO  DEFROST  Chart  or  is  above  or  below 
the  limits  in  the  “Amount”  column  on  the  SUPER  DEFROST 
or  AUTO  DEFROST  Charts  (page  16),  you  need  to  defrost 
manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, 
by  using  Power  Level  3.  Follow  the  exact  4-step  procedure 
found under TO SET POWER LEVEL. Estimate defrosting time 
and press 
POWER LEVEL 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.
Always  stop  the  oven  periodically  to  remove  or  separate  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 at 30% 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.
