DEFROSTING BY TIME
The Time Defrost setting is designed for speedy
thawing of frozen food and is one of the great
advantages of a microwave oven.
Power Level 3 is automatically set for defrosting,
but you may change this for more flexibility.
To become better acquainted with the defrost
function, defrost frozen strawberries by following the
steps below.
1. Place the package of frozen
strawberries in the oven and close
the door.
2. Press the TIME DEFROST pad.
3. Select one half of the total defrosting
time recommended. For example,
press 4, 0 and 0 to set 4 minutes.
4. Press the START pad. When the
cycle is completed, the oven control
signals and the oven automatically
shuts off.
5. Turn the package over, close the door and
repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the remaining
half of the defrosting time. Press the
START pad.
6. When the oven control signals, open the
door, remove the package and separate
the strawberries to finish defrosting.
To change the power level after setting the
defrosting time, press the POWER LEVEL pad,
then press the desired number for a new power
level. Press the START pad.
Defrosting Tips
• Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in
the package.
• Family-size, pre-packaged frozen dinners can be
defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
• For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken
up or separated part of the way through the
defrosting time.
Questions and Answers
Q. When I press the START pad, I hear a dull, thumping noise.
What is it?
A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the oven is using a power
level lower than 10 (HIGH).
Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?
A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention than usual. Raise the
power level after entering the time by pressing the desired power level
pad. Power Level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in half; Power Level 10
cuts the total defrosting time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate
or stir food frequently.
