MANUAL DEFROST

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