MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on
the COMPU DEFROST CHART or is above or below
the limits in the "Amount" column on the COMPU
DEFROST CHART, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ-
ously cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact
3-step procedure found under Time Cooking on page
10. 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 4 minutes per pound. For
example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen
spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or sepa-
rate 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.
