MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the “Amount” column on the DEFROST CHART, you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or pre- viously cooked, by using 30% power level. See page 9. Estimate defrosting time and press POWER LEVEL pad 8 times when you select the power level.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 5 minutes for 2-3 cups of casserole or 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrost- ing time, program the oven in 1 minute increments at 30% until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, de- frost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.

The popcorn setting automatically provides the cor- rect cooking time for most brands of microwave popcorn. See the chart below.
