NOTE:
•
Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue
thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals are thawed.
•
Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth
strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.
MANUAL DEFROST
•
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the COMPU DEFROST CHART or is above or
below the limits in the “Amount” column on the COMPU 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 the Time Cooking section.
•
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.
