MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
CompuDefrost Chart or is above or below the limits in
the “Amount” column on the CompuDefrost 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 11. 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 spa-
ghetti 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.
• Suppose you want to pop a 3.5 oz bag of light
microwave popcorn.
