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 3.
Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under
Time Cooking. 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 5 minutes per
pound. For example, defrost 5 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 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.
