DEFROSTING BY TIME

Time Defrost (Power Level 3)

Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of frozen food and is one of the great advantages of a microwave oven.

Use the Time Defrost setting to quickly thaw foods such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen dinners. The Auto Defrost setting is preferred for meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting time and power levels for you.

•Power Level 3 is automatically set when you press TIME DEFROST pad, but you may change this for more flexibility.

•See the Defrosting Guide for defrosting help.

To become better acquainted with the defrost function, defrost a 10 oz. package of frozen strawberries by following the steps below.

Step 1: Place a package of frozen strawberries in the oven and close door. Be sure package contains no metal.

Step 2: Touch TIME DEFROST.

Step 3: Select one half of the total defrosting time recommended. For example, touch pads 4, 0 and 0 for 4 minutes.

Defrosting Tips

• Foods frozen in paper or

plastic can be defrosted in

the package. Tightly closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented, AFTER food has partially defrosted, as directed by package. Plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered.

•Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

• For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time.

•Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

•Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.

Questions and Answers

Q. When I press START, I hear a dull thumping noise. What is it?

A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the magnetron is in operation.

Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?

A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention than usual. Raise the power level after entering the time by touching the desired power level pad. Power Level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about 1/2; Power Level 10 cuts the total defrosting time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or stir food frequently.
