MICROWAVE TIME COOKING
TO SET POWER LEVEL
There are eleven preset power levels.
Using lower power levels increases the cooking time
which is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk
and long slow cooking of meats. Consult cookbook or
recipes for specific recommendations.

MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
EXPRESS DEFROST CHART or is above or below the
limits in the “Amount” column on the EXPRESS DE-
FROST CHART, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using 30% Power Level. Estimate defrosting
time and touch SELECTA POWER pad 7 times 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 at 30%
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.
• Suppose you want to defrost for 5 minutes at 30%.
