MANuAl dEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on
the SuperDefrost or CompuDefrost Chart or is above
or below the limits in the “Amount” column on the
SuperDefrost or CompuDefrost Charts (page 23 and
24), you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 4-step
procedure found under To Set Power Level. Estimate
defrosting time and press
Power Level 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 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.
TO SET POWER lEVEl
There are eleven preset power levels.
Using lower power levels increases the cooking time
which is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk
and long slow cooking of meats. Consult cookbook or
recipes for specific recommendations.
