1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely, allowing approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.

MANUAL DEFROST
If the food 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 under TO SET POWER LEVEL on page 14. 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 with POWER LEVEL 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.
