NOTE:

•Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals are thawed.

•Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.

MANUAL DEFROST

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

•You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under Time Cooking.

•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 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.
