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 un-

der To Set Power Level on page 18. 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.
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 on Power

Level 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.
