Manual Defrost
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Defrost Chart or is above or below the limits in the Amount column on the Super Defrost or Compu Defrost Charts on page 18, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by setting the Power Level to 30%. Follow the exact 3 step procedure found under To Set Power Level. Estimate defrosting time and press the POWER LEVEL key eight times for 30% power.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food, the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the microwave oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the microwave oven in 1 minute increments at a Power Level of 30% until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic, then place in a
