Manual Defrost

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

Manual Defrost can be used to quickly thaw foods such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen dinners. QUICK DEFROST and AUTO DEFROST are preferred for meats and poultry because the oven is programmed with the defrosting time and power level.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the same procedure for Timed Cooking: enter the estimated defrosting time and then touch 3 for 30% power level.

For raw or cooked foods, a good rule is to defrost approximately four minutes per pound. For example, for 1 pound of pasta sauce, defrost for four minutes.

Always check food periodically, stirring, rotating or separating defrosted portions of food. If food is not defrosted at end of defrost time, set the oven at Power Level 3 for one minute increments until food is thawed.

Popcorn

This feature allows you to use commercially packaged microwave popcorn. Use one fresh bag of popcorn. Place bag of popcorn on the center of turntable. Touch POPCORN to pop packaged popcorn weighing 1.75 to 3.5 oz. There is no need to touch START. Oven will start automatically and the word SENSING will scroll in the display.
