About the time features.

Time Defrost

Allows you to defrost for a selected length of time. See the Defrosting Guide for suggested times. (Auto Defrost explained in the About the auto feature section.)

1 Press DEFROST AUTO/TIME twice.

2 Enter defrosting time.

3 Press START.

4 Turn food over when the oven signals.

5 Press START.

Power level is automatically set at 3, but can be changed. You can defrost small items quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to approximately 1/3. However, food will need more frequent attention than usual.

At one half of selected defrosting time, the oven signals TURN. At this time, turn food over and break apart or rearrange pieces for more even defrosting. Shield any warm areas with small pieces of foil.

A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting.

This is normal when oven is not operating at High power.

 

Defrosting Tips

 

■ Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in

 

the package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced

 

or vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic

 

storage containers should be 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.

 

■ Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit

 

out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room

 

temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

 

■ For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as

 

roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure large meats are

 

completely defrosted before cooking.

 

■ When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in

 

all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave

very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.
