Time Defrost allows you to defrost for a selected length of time. See the Defrosting Guide for suggested times. (Auto Defrost is explained in the Convenience Feature section.)

2.Enter defrosting time.

3.Press Start/Pause.

4.Turn food over when the oven signal.

5.Press Start/Pause.

Power level is automatically set at 3, but you may change this for more flexibility. 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 approximately 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 is normal when oven is not operating at High power.
