Defrosting Tips
During DEFROST (TIME), the power level is automatically set at 3, but can be changed. To change power levels, see the Microwave Power Level section.
You can defrost small items quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in half; power level 10 cuts the time to about a third. When defrosting at higher power levels, food will need more frequent attention.
Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting.
For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as roasts, use DEFROST (AUTO). Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking.
DEFROST (TIME) can be used for foods frozen in paper or plastic packages, but foods should be taken out of the packagse when using DEFROST (AUTO). Closed packages should be slit AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic containers should be partially uncovered.
