Manual Defrost
Instant Start
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
COMPU DEFROST/EXPRESS DEFROST CHART
or is above or below the limits in the "Amount" column
on the COMPU DEFROST/EXPRESS DEFROST
CHART, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or
previously cooked, by using Power Level 3. See
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 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 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.

The oven starts automatically.
To cook double quantity, touch the same pad twice
within 1 second.
Instant Start can only be entered within 1 minute after
cooking, opening and closing the door or touching the
STOP/CLEAR pad.
Instant Start can be programmed with More or Less
Time adjustment. See page 12.
TIPS: Foods can be covered with wax paper or
vented plastic wrap. Temperatures of foods
covered with plastic wrap tend to be slightly
higher than those covered with wax paper.
Slice meat for reheating on dinner plate.
Stir items after removing from oven, if
possible.
Procedure
This setting works well with most brands of microwave popcorn. Try several brands
to decide which is most acceptable for your taste. Place bag with only one fold
slightly off center and place bag with two folds in the center of the turntable. You may
also fold down the corners of the bag so it turns freely.
Touch POPCORN pad once for regular. E__-II_I_I.
Touch POPCORN pad twice within 2 seconds for light regular. _.
Touch POPCORN pad three times within 3 seconds for snack. _.
Touch POPCORN pad four times within 4 seconds for light snack. _.
This setting is good for restoring cooled beverage to a better drinking temperature.
Stir after heating. Use More Time Adjustment (See page 12.) for heating COLD TAP
WATER to a temperature somewhat below the boiling point to make instant coffee
or tea. Stir liquid briskly before and after heating to avoid "eruption".
Pierce with fork in several places. Place on paper towel on turntable. After cooking,
remove from oven and let stand wrapped in foil for 5 to 10 minutes.
For beans, carrots, corn and peas, add 1 tablespoon of water per cup. For broccoli,
Brussel sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower, cook immediately after washing with no
additional water.
If you like tender crisp vegetables, double measured quantity per setting. For
example, use 2 cups cauliflower but touch FRESH VEGETABLES only once. After
cooking, remove from oven, stir, cover and let stand 3 to 5 minutes before serving
Place meaty portions and bulky vegetables to outside of plate.
Cut large items like baked potatoes into smaller pieces. Flatten foods such as
mashed potatoes and other dense foods.
Cover with wax paper or plastic wrap. NO DOUBLE QUANTITY.
After cooking, check that food is very hot throughout and that the bottom center
of the plate is very hot. If not, continue heating using time and power level. Allow
to stand, covered, 1 to 2 minutes.
Arrange on plate with paper towel; cover with another towel. Use More Time
Adjustment for frozen rolls and muffins.
