Defrosting by ~me

Defrosting is one of the most useful microwave functions of your oven, thawing foods quickly, but gently. With no lengthy defrosting required, meal planning is easier than ever! You can prepare single servings or whole meals ahead of time and freeze, then thaw and heat them in just minutes.

Your new oven can even be programmed to Defrost, then Time Cook for complete freezer-to-table meal preparation—automatically ! Refer to page 8 of this book or to the cookbook for cookware and food preparation tips and suggestions.

Setting the Oven Controls

Step 1: Touch Microwave DEFROST. The time of day disappears from the display and “ENTER DEF TIME” flashes.

Step 2: Touch the number pads to enter defrosting time. For example, touch 8, 0, 0 for 8 minutes. The display shows 8:00. Power level is automatically set in your oven.

Step 3: Touch START. The display shows “DEF TIME” and counts down time remaining. When defrosting time is completed, the display shows “End:’ and the oven signals and shuts off.

If you w]sh to defrost and then cook a particular food, follow the simple instructions below to program your oven

Step 1: Touch Microwave DEFROST The time of day disappears from the display and “ENTER DEF TIME” flashes

Step 2: Set defrosting time in minutes and seconds by touching number pads in sequence The programmed time appears m the display

Step 3: To set the time cooking stage, touch Microwave COOK The defrosting time disappears, and “ENTER COOK TIME” flashes

Step 4: Touch the number pads to enter the cooking time Display shows this time Power level High

(10)is programmed into oven, but if your recipe calls for a different power level, touch POWER LEVEL and that number.

Step 5: Touch START. Display shows “DEF TIME” and the preset defrosting time begins counting down. When this time is completed, display shows “COOK TIME” and the cooking time begins counting down. When finished, “End” flashes, oven signals and turns off.

Questions and Answers

Q. Why don’t the defrosting times in the cookbook seem right for my food?

A. Cookbook times are averages, and defrosting time required can vary according to the temperature in your freezer. Set your oven for the time given in the cookbook. If your food is not completely thawed at the end of that time, reset the oven and adjust the time for additional defrosting.

Q. Can I open the door during the Microwave Defrost cycle?

A. Yes. You may open the door at any time during microwaving. To resume defrosting, just close the door and touch START again.

Q. When I defrosted hamburger patties, the edges were already cooked. Why is this?

A. The density and size of the food makes a difference when defrosting. Try using the minimum recommended defrost time first. Most meat patties must be rotated during total defrosting time.
