Allows you to defrost for the length of time you select. See the Defrosting Guide for suggested times.

Power level 3 is automati- cally set, but you may change this for more flexi- bility. You may defrost small items more quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. However, they will need more frequent attention than usual.

Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to approxi- mately 1/3. Rotate or stir food frequently.

At one half of selected defrosting time, the oven signals TURN. At this time, turn food over and break apart or rearrange pieces for more even defrosting. Shield any warm areas with small pieces of foil.

A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting. This sound is normal when the oven is not operating at High power.

Defrosting Tips

Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package. Tightly closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered.

Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and micro- waved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as beef, lamb and veal roasts, use Auto Defrost.

Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking.

When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.
