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.

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 Time Cooking
Microwave on page 19. 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 1 pound of frozen
spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the microwave 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.
