turn steak over. Close the drawer. Touch
START/+30 SEC pad.

and select START/+30 SEC again.
After defrost cycle ends, cover and let stand as indicated
in the chart below.
NOTE:
• Defrost can be programmed with More or Less Time
Adjustment. See page 16.
• To defrost other foods or foods above or below the
weights allowed on the Defrost Chart, see Manual Defrost
below.
• Check foods when the appliance signals. After final
stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue
thawing. Do not cook until all ice crystals are thawed.
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 at 30%. Follow the exact
3-step procedure found under To Set Power Level on page
9. 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 on POWER LEVEL 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.
