How to Defrost .”

Defrosting is one of the most important advantages of a microwave oven. Your new oven makes defrost-

ing even easier and better. It’s microwave-fast, but gentle enough to defrost uniformly with a minimum of attention. The Microwave Guide & Cookbook helps too, with step-by-step instructions for defrosting all types of food.

The Defrost setting gives you an automatic power level of 3, which is best for most defrosting. You may change it if you wish, which makes Defrost a versatile function. Power Level can be changed, but only after time is entered.

You may open the door at any time during micro- waving. To resume defrosting, close the door and press START.

TIPS FOR DEFROSTING

Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted right in the package. The Microwave Guide & Cook-

book gives you special instructions for packaging and freezing foods which will be used in automatic 3- step cooking programs.
