Allows you to defrost for a selected length 

of time. 

Press TIME DEFROST.
Enter defrosting time.
Press START. 

Power level is automatically set at 3, but can

be changed. You can defrost small items

quickly by raising the power level after

entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the

total defrosting time in about half; power
level 10 

cuts the total time to approximately

1/3. However, food will need more

frequent attention than usual.
A dull thumping noise may be heard during

defrosting. This is normal when oven is not

operating at High power.

■

Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be

defrosted in the package. Closed packages

should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER

food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage

containers should be partially uncovered.

■

Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners

can be defrosted and microwaved. If the

food is in a foil container, transfer it to a

microwave-safe dish.

■

Foods that spoil easily should not be

allowed to sit out for more than one hour

after defrosting. Room temperature

promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

■

For more even defrosting of larger foods,

such as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure

large meats are completely defrosted

before cooking.

■

When defrosted, food should be cool 

but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy,

return to the microwave very briefly, or let

it stand a few minutes.

This is a quick way to set cooking time for 1–5 minutes.

Press one of the Express Cook pads (from 1 to 5) for 1 to 5 minutes of cooking at power 
level 10.

For example, press the 2 pad for 2 minutes of cooking time. No need to press

, the oven will start immediately.

The power level can be changed as time is counting down. Press POWER LEVEL and 

enter 1–10.

You can use this feature two ways:

■

It will add 30 seconds to the time counting down each time the pad is pressed.

■

It can be used as an express cook for 30 seconds. No need to press START, the 

oven will start immediately.
