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 Defrost 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 cook ing
on page 13. Estimate defrosting time and touch 3
for 30% when you select the power level.
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 i s
not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting
time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on
power level 3 until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the f reezer,
defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic
in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.
Beverage
Beverage automatically heats beverage 0.5-2.0
cups. This setting is good for restoring a cool b ev-
erage to a better drinking temperature. Stir liquid
briskly before and after heating to avoid "eruption".
The beverage setting must be entered in 0.5 cup
measurements.
• Suppose you want to heat 1 cup of water.
