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 for 30%. Follow the exact
3-step procedure found under TO SET POWER LEVEL.
Estimate defrosting time and press pad
eight times for 30%.
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 microwave 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 microwave oven in 1 minute increments on
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.
