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 3. Follow the exact 3-step

procedure found under Time Cooking Microwave on page 17. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you

select the power level.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example,

defrost 5 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 oven in 1 minute increments on Power Level 3 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.
