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 30% Power Level. See page 11.
Estimate defrosting time and touch POWER LEVEL pad
8 times 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/450 g 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 at 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.
NOTE:
1. To melt, soften or warm other food or foods except
the quantity listed in the SHORT CUTS CHART,
use manual operation.
2. Short Cuts can be programmed with More or Less
Time Adjustment. See page 17.
