Manual defrost
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on
theAutoDefrostchartorisaboveorbelowthe
limitsinthe“Amount”columnontheDefrostchart,
you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or
previously cooked, by using Power level 30. Follow
the exact procedure found under Time cooking.
Estimate defrosting time and lower your power
level to 30%.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food
the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per
pound. For example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound
of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the 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 oven in 1 minute increments on
power level 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.
