MANUAL DEFROST

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

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ- ously cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under Time Cooking on page 9. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you select the power level.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the oven periodically to remove or sepa- rate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on Power Level 3 until totally defrosted.

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

MULTIPLE SEQUENCE COOKING

Your oven can be programmed for up to 4 automatic cooking sequences, switching from one power level setting to another automatically.

Sometimes cooking directions tell you to start on one power level and then change to a different power level. Your oven can do this automatically.

Suppose you want to cook roast beef for 5 minutes at 100% and then continue to cook for 30 minutes at 50%.
