Press the Time Defrost pad twice.
Enter defrosting time.
Press the Start pad.
Turn food over when the oven signals.
Press the Start pad.
Power level is automatically set at 3, but can be
changed. You can defrost small items quickly
by raising the power level after entering the
time. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting
time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total
time to approximately 1/3. However, food will
need more frequent attention than usual.
Defrosting Tips
Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be
defrosted in the package. Closed packages
should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER
food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage
containers should be partially uncovered.
Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can
be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is
in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-
safe dish.
Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed
to sit out for more than one hour after
defrosting. Room temperature promotes the
growth of harmful bacteria.
For more even defrosting of larger foods,
such as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure
large meats are completely defrosted before
cooking.
When defrosted, food should be cool but
softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return
to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand a
few minutes.
