MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the CompuDefrost Chart or is above or below the limits in the “Amount” column on the CompuDefrost Chart, you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ- ously cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under Time Cooking on page 11. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you select the power level.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For
