TO SET POWER LEVEL

There are eleven preset power levels.

Using lower power levels increases the cooking time which is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk and long slow cooking of meats. Consult cookbook or recipes for specific recommendations.

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 DEFROST CHARTS (page 21 and 22), 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 To Set POWER LEVEL. Estimate defrosting time and press POWER LEVEL 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 oven periodically to remove or sepa- rate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments at 30% until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.
