The Time Defrost setting 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, fruifi 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 for defrosting, but you may change this for more flexibility.

Questions and Answers

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

A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High).

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 one- half; power level 10 cuts the total defrosting time to approximately one-third. During either, rotate or stir food frequently.

Q. Why don’t the defrosting times shown in the cookbook seem right for my food?

A. Defrosting times shown in cookbook are averages and can vary according to the temperature in your freezer. Set your oven for the time indicated in the cookbook. If your food is still not completely thawed at the end of that time, reset your oven and adjust the time accordingly.

Q. Should all foods be completely thawed before cooking?

A. Some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking. For example, fish cooks so quic~y it is better to begin cooking while it is still slightly frozen.

Q. Can I open the door during defrosting to check on the progress of my food?

A. Yes. You may open the door at any time during microwaving. To resume defrosting, close the door and press START pad. The oven begins operating if time is left on timer. If not, reset timer.
