MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the
AMOUNT column on the 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 TO SET POWER LEVEL.
Estimate defrosting time and touch
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 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.
TIME COOKING
Your oven can be programmed for 99 minutes and 99
seconds (99.99). Always enter the seconds after the
minutes, even if they are both zeros.
• Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 100%.
1. Enter cooking time by touching the number pads
500.
2. Touch START/+30 SEC pad.
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.
